Sometimes you get what you ask for with a little bit more for good measure. Take for instance the time I asked my two, then aged 7 and 9, boys to earn their allowance money by cleaning up and detailing the family car. “Make sure you get everything,” I told them. “Especially those stickers you like to stick on the windows.” The result was a shiny clean car minus all dirt, grime, as well as my san antonio inspection sticker. Like I said, I got what I asked for. The boys did a great job. It was my fault not to be more specific.
