I've been thinking about the upcoming field trip our son's school is planning and I'm feeling frustrated. I can't think of any good reasons why I should go.

Well, have you considered the benefits? Our son would be really excited to have us there. Plus, it's a great opportunity to bond with him and his classmates.

I understand that, but I'm also thinking about the disadvantages. I'll have to take time off work, and I'm not sure if I can do that right now.

Hmm, I see your point. But perhaps you could talk to your boss and see if there's any flexibility in your schedule. It's only one day, after all.
human
That's true, but I'm still not convinced. The field trip is going to be outside and it might rain. I don't want to be caught in the rain all day.

Maybe you could bring an umbrella or raincoat just in case. And besides, a little bit of rain never hurt anyone. It could make for a fun adventure.

I guess you're right. I just need to stop thinking so negatively. You know, you always have such a positive attitude and it really helps me see things differently.

Aw, thank you. That means a lot. And if it makes you feel any better, our son will be so thrilled to have us there that it'll all be worth it in the end.
human
You're right. I'll make the effort to go on the field trip. Our son deserves it. And speaking of making an effort, have you thought about our anniversary plans yet?

Funny you should mention that...
