Unreasonable Requests - Just Say Yes


Take turns asking another person to perform an extra large task.

  • My scout group is having a bake sale tomorrow morning and I promised we would supply 5 dozen decorated cupcakes.

The person asked to perform the task, agrees...but makes a list of requirements he or she would need to accomplish the goal.

Sure, we can make 5 dozen decorated cupcakes, but in order to do that, I need:

  • Take out for dinner.
  • Someone to shop for cake mixes and frostings.
  • Another person to go to the dollar store to purchase inexpensive decorations for the cupcakes.
  • Two neighbors to agree to let us use their ovens (and their cupcake pans).
  • My favorite music playing in the kitchen while I work (no distracting television shows).
  • Two helpers to clean up.
  • An undisturbed hour in the tub afterwards.

Try another request.

  • The garage must be cleaned and organized before the end of the day on Saturday.

What requirements might be necessary to accomplish this huge task?
