Take today a wife with a seven-year-old son to a maid (the woman gave a weekend to normal boys to sit in a purely male company). Two minutes ago my son called. The quote:
Dad, please take me! This dumb series began "The Golden Age", and there was a battery on my PSP. I have nothing to do. It is intolerable!
I’m so sorry for him... I’m under whiskey, my son, and I can’t save you. This is life...

Here is a good reason for the child not to go out, but to take a book in his hands.
It is a pity that this is not an option.
