This is a true story that made me think that the word try may need to be banned from my vocabulary.
I told my son (6) that I’ll be away for a few days.
He asked me:
‘will you bring me a toy?`
Me:
*thinking he already has too many but not wanting to say no*
‘I’ll try’
My son:
*using a slightly preaching tone*
‘Mommy, that doesn’t work!
When you go inside a shop, you either buy me a toy or you don’t’.
At 6, my son knows there is no try.
𝙏𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 = 𝙣𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨.
Resolve to do or not. There is no try.
