Your child comes home for the spring break and has left a book at school -- a book that he or she needs to have finished reading by the middle of the week back from said break. You:
a) call the principal and get him to open up the school so you can retrieve it.
b) order the book on Amazon and pay for overnight delivery.
c) download the book onto your wife's (yucky) Kindle.
d) go and try to find it at the mega bookstore.
e) let your child learn a hard (and grade-reducing) lesson about responsibility.
Which do you choose? Has parenthood changed in the culture of convenience?
