that’s how it was when i was little. and yeah most of the time i was aloud to go.it wasn’t until i was a teen and that my parents figured out that if i had to ask (instead of telling them i’m where i was going) then i was up to no good.
Wait, weren’t we just criticizing Elly for not playing with her kids at the beach? She had the audacity to just sit & watch them play in the water while John slept, and further audacity to want to take a walk (and a break from watching). If she brings a friend along to the park, she might break all those rules again and talk to someone besides the kids and we couldn’t have that.

Connie may as well go to, gives Elly someone to talk to as the kids are playing. Plus just help her keep an eye on 3 kids for their protection.

If I had kids and they “asked” me this way they would not go til they learned not to put a period where a question mark should be.

Can’t run the risk of being told, “No.” :)

That will be nice if Connie and Lawrence come and join with the Pattersons to the park.

Nice strategy- say what your doing and get out before she can say “no” or “later”!
