The Son on the Sofa
He's thirty one. This is the third time he's asked to come home, and each time it was going to be a few months. You'd have to move the desk out again, and you'd hear him up at three, and you'd be lending him money by February. He has nowhere else to be by Friday.

Then ask
- What are you afraid the yes does to him?
- What would you need to hear from him to make it a yes without dread?
- Who did this for you, and how long did they let it run?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
