Risk and Reward

I have a socialite (Sara) and a homebody (Tucker). I know it might surprise you that Sara is the social one, being as shy as she is, but it's true. She does not like to be home for very long. This winter weather is getting to her big time! However, she is not a risk-taker. Here's a conversation we had this morning:

Me Hey guys, do y'all want to go to Nannie's house today?
Sara Yeah!
Tucker I don't wanna go!
Me Sara, do you want to stay home or leave?
Sara LEAVE!
Me Tucker, do you want to stay home or leave?
Tucker STAY HOME!!
Me Sara, the roads still have ice on them. If we leave, our car might slip.
Sara (looking very worried and shaking her head)
Let's don't go to Nangy's. We maybe crash our car.

[PAUSE ... thinking]
Sara I think we will try it!
Me You think we should try to drive? Even if it's slippery?
Sara Yeah... But I don't want to go faster. Just go real slow!
Tucker I WANNA STAY HOME!

They make me laugh :-)
