When you brought home your new SUV, you brought with it a restraining order prohibiting your children from bringing food within 10 feet of it. And they obliged, and you were proud, and the world made sense.
Then one night, football practice ran long and there was nothing to eat at home and someone said, “Let’s just pick something up.”
A spirited discussion ensued. You used the phrase “slippery slope,” and everyone rolled their eyes. Soon you were outnumbered and exhausted; their persistence proving more formidable than your appeals to the antiquated notions of pride and hard work, so you caved. Oh, you laid down the law, to be sure. You proclaimed the death penalty for the infraction of dropping even one French fry in the car.
