Contingency Plans

As kids grow and become more independent, we had to include them in our contingency plans. When they were young, we had plan A, plan B and we'd just activate when one scenario didn't work. 

Now they are schooling and have to know how to act given different scenarios. In a way, I'm 'training' them to be street-smart. 

I decided to pose to Cavan and Verity a scenario and test their responses. As they no longer took the school bus and relied on me or my dad to pick them up, I asked what they would do if one day they waited but no one picked them up. In case we were caught in some unfortunate circumstances like accidents or what. 

Cavan: I'll be patient and wait.
Me: what if you waited for one hour, two hours and still no one came?
Cavan: I will continue to wait. 

This boy thinks I'm testing him on his virtues...?
