All afternoon, my sister and I tried to convince our parents to take us to the see the latest blockbuster movie. Our parents complained that they were too tired and had too much work to do so we stepped up and helped with chores. We told them they deserved a break and that we all could use some family time. Finally, we were able to convince them to go to the movie! My sister wanted to ask if we could go out for pizza too. I told her not to rock the boat. We were lucky enough to go to the movie.
