How do you get someone to buy something for you?

Question

I'm a 10 year old kid and my dad says if I behave at grandma's for 3 weeks I get an Xbox360. How can I get him to buy it for me In about a day or two? Please help me earn it without having to wait.

Answer 1

If you don't wait....you haven't earned it now, have you? 3 weeks isn't that long...behave, and you'll get your "reward". And you shouldn't have to be "rewarded" for behaving anyway.

Answer 2

you're 10 so i know 3 weeks seems like a long time, but really it's not. just be good for grandma and 3 weeks will go by in no time.

Answer 3

Over my dead body will I help you "get" it without earning it. That's just greedy. My kids have been begging for one and they are now having to work for it. They have numerous chores that they have to do above their everyday chores for the money. I pay them for the extra work and it's up to them to save the money, but so far they keep spending it before saving any of it. There's no way I will or would buy them one just for the sake of it. Earn it.

Answer 4

tell your dad no deal unless he buys you a ps3 instead :). patience is a virtue my friend!

Answer 5

lets not be greedy now.  You have to earn it and really do you think you need to be bribed to be good somewhere?
