I told Alex he didn’t have to go hiking with us if he made plans for himself. He arranged to meet a friend. This particular friend is not always known for showing up so I told him if he canceled that Alex still had to come hiking. Alex assured me that wouldn’t happen. The other kids and I were partway up the mountain when Alex sent me a screenshot of a text exchange showing the friend cancelling. He asked me what he should do. I jokingly told him to run a mile. Above is his picture proof showing me he ran the mile.
