It's Not Their Fault, It's Our Fault

It's one thing for the kid to come downstairs at 10:15 as you're about to watch a DVD and tell you that she's forgotten that she needs to bring a sword (okay, a pretend sword) into school tomorrow and could it be 2 feet long and painted silver. It's another thing entirely to say "yes." Not to mention going online to find a picture of the appropriate kind of sword. And we wonder why out kids feel entitled.
