Can I play?

Garett, Tate and Marissa have fallen madly in love with our neighbor's children. They are Zack and Caroline, ages 11 and 10. Actually, it is more like hero worship at our house. Garett gets the bonk of the century on his head as he takes a head dive off furniture onto the carpet ( he missed the protective mat he was aiming for). This bonk swells up like a goose egg with major carpet burn running through it. He cries for the minimum amount required and asks, "Can I go play with Zack?"
