We were at a museum shop (for the USS Constitution) and there was a big long wooden toy rifle-like thing (that looks sort of like the bottom rifle thing in this picture: http://myuniquewoodentoys.com/pro1092982.html) that Kid#1 really wants. Dad already said no, so he asks Mom. Mom, foolishly, asks to see it. It's huge. About as tall as me. Or seems like it. Mom also says no, but Kid#1 senses that it's not a totally firm no and so the request has been continuing for days. Well, two days so far.
Today's offer from Kid#1: that he will get his hair cut and not fight for an entire month if we agree to buy him the gun. It's sort of tempting, but I really don't want him having it. I just predict bad things. On the other hand, I don't think he can go a month without fighting - and I'd make sure he got his hair cut first...
What would you do?
