When you go to a store with your parents, they:
1. Let you wander around the store and pick out whatever you want.
2. Tell you to stay close to them and in their sight.
3. Make you go everywhere with them so that you don’t get lost, and only buy things on the shopping list.

You want to throw a party at your house for your birthday, and your parents:
1. Don’t care how many friends you invite over as long as you have fun.
2. Give you a set amount of guests you can invite and certain rules to follow.
3. Say, “What? A Party? In my house?” and then call a family meeting concerning your matter.

When you get home for dinner, your parents give you:
1. Whatever you want to eat.
2. Whatever you want as long as it’s healthy.

For your birthday, your parents buy you:
1. The most expensive things on your wishlist.
2. The thing you’ve been wanting for a long time.

Your parents don’t let you play outside because:
