Dependable Garrick 

Garrick weighs the benefits of making a good decision. He wants to please his dad, but his friends want him to make a decision that will please them. Garrick’s dad left a note for him before leaving for work. The note listed some chores for Garrick to do with his cat before his dad returns home, but the cat will not cooperate. If Garrick doesn’t do his chores, his dad will think he’s not dependable. Garrick must decide if he should show Dad he’s dependable or if he should just go and play with his friends. His mom tells him it’s his choice. Which decision do you think he should make? Did Garrick make the right decision?
