Well, what did you expect?

My husband walked in the door and instantly our dog started pestering him to go outside. I've been here for a few hours, working and pacing around practicing a talk. The dog just laid there. He slept, he watched me. He did move from one good nap spot to another, but he never asked to go out and he never asked to play or to do anything - he just slept.

And he got exactly what he asked for. He got a long rest time. But he could have gone outside. He could have played hide & seek. He could even have gone for a walk. But he never asked.

Are you doing the same thing? Do you assume that people won't give you something or won't do something for you? Do you live within a restricted set of limitations without ever testing them to see if you can change them? Well maybe, if you ask, you'll get exactly what you want.

Action: Go ask for something you want.
