Do you make the call?

The Slot
Your kid needs a place at a good nursery and the list is two years long. Your aunt knows the woman who runs it and one phone call moves you to the front. Nobody will ever be told why. Someone who has been waiting since before your child was born goes back one place.
Do you make the call?
Then ask
- Would you tell the other parents at the gate how you got in?
- If the family behind you had less money than you, does that change it?
- When has someone else's phone call cost you something?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
