No matter how much I pouted, whined, kicked & SCREAMED I got one thing.....ONE THING! The closest store to us in Chicago (at the time) was 4 hours away! The distance still did not convince him. I gave him the silent treatment, for at least 1/2 the day. Trust me this killed him because he loves to talk....ALL.THE.TIME! How did I even start talking about this? Oh, recycling & my decor.
