"Please, Daddy, please!"
"I'm sorry, George, but I don't think it's worth our money."
"But, Daddy-"
"No means no, George! Now, sit back down and put your seatbelt back on!"
It was a typical day for George and his dad. Every morning while his dad takes him to school, they would drive by the pet store. George then would beg his father to buy him a goldfish, and, like usual, his father would say no. Ever since his class got new goldfish for their fish tank, he wanted a goldfish of his own.
George has always wanted to be like his father. He looked up to him. At home, his father's office was restricted from him. One time, George asked why he wasn't allowed in and his dad replied, "Because all of my things are in there."

"No! I bought it so only I can look at it!"
His mother was shocked. "Who gave you that kind of idea?"
"Daddy! He doesn't let me in his office because he said that he bought everything in there, so I won't let anyone look at my goldfish because I bought it! Now, I'm a grown-up, just like Daddy!"
His father heard everything that George said from his spot. He immediately felt guilty. He could have stopped his son from becoming obsessed with growing up. He could have caught George before he fell into
