Rebecca is a 14-year-old girl. She asked her mom to buy her some expensive designer clothes.Rebecca's mom said she couldn't afford the clothes, but if Rebecca earned the money, she could purchase the clothes. Rebecca earned $100 from babysitting a few evenings and asked her mom to take her to the mall so she could get the clothes. But Rebecca's mom said that money was tight and that Rebecca needed to give the money to her instead so she could put gas in the car and buy some groceries. What might Rebecca do?
