I’m off to England, so let’s play Saturday Scruples:

You suspect another parent at a co-op daycare of stealing $20 from your coat. This person is made treasurer. Do you alert the board?

Suspect? No, based off only my suspicions, I wouldn’t make any official outcry. I would, however, have a private discussion with one or two board members whom I trusted, just to give them a heads up.

You’re well-to-do. Your children, ages 24 and 26, ask you to settle part of their inheritance now. Do you?

Depends. Are they trustworthy? Reliable? Responsible? And what do I think they want the money for all of a sudden? If it’s cash to start up a personal business endeavor and they’re a visionary sort, sure … if they’re bankrolling some start-up they aren’t even directly involved in, I think not.

You’ve accepted a date to a movie when someone you really like asks you to a concert on the same night. Do you try to get out of the first date?

Given that movies can be seen any time and concerts are a ‘one time only’ deal, I’d probably try to reschedule the movie, but if I really dug the person in question, I would let them know why.
