In this chapter, Moose clearly told his mother that he needed to watch Natalie right after school on Mondays, so she could teach piano lessons. He REALLY didn't want to give up that time because that was the day the school kids played baseball.... and he LOVES baseball!
Has a parent ever been asked to do something that you REALLY don't want to do, but knew you needed to do it anyways? Did you have to give up something special too? How did you feel?
