00:00Dad, can we talk for a minute?
00:02Of course.
00:03What's on your mind?
00:04I'm turning 18 next week, so I think we should change a few house rules.
00:09Really?
00:10Tell me.
00:12First, I'd like a later curfew.
00:14What time are you thinking?
00:16Maybe midnight.
00:18Anything else?
00:19Yes, I'd like more independence.
00:21I don't want to ask for permission every time I go out.
00:23I understand.
00:25And I'd like you to trust me to make good decisions.
00:30That's fair.
00:31So what do you think?
00:33Well, if you're becoming an adult, there are a few new responsibilities too.
00:38Like what?
00:39Adults help pay their own expenses.
00:42Oh.
00:45Adults also cook, do their own laundry, and help around the house.
00:49I didn't think about that.
00:51Freedom and responsibility always go together.
00:54I guess you're right.
00:55If you show me that you're responsible, I'll be happy to give you more freedom.
01:02Deal.
01:03I'm proud of you, son.
01:05Thanks, Dad.
01:05I'm proud of you, son.
01:05I'm proud of you, son.
01:05I'm proud of you, son.
01:05Amen.
