Subjective ethics...the bane of humanity.
Alright, alright! I admit it..I purchased my children ski lift tickets at the
child rate (when they were just a tad over the age limit, or maybe it was a
year or so) by attesting honestly to the fact they were under 12 (or was it 10)
and maybe I did this once (but only once) at the movie theatre.

I will not try to justify my actions. I was not willing to pay $9.00 for an
extra plate of green salad, and a half plate of waldorf salad. I'm like that,
for better or worse.
