Explanation:

In the beginning, Justin was more reluctant to accompany his mother for the Mitzvah Day. He would rather be with his friends "playing hockey in the parking lot" of the local church. Added to that, he was asked to help the small kids making cards.

When Taya approached him and asked to man the station, he was looking for excuses to stay away from the task. But with time, he began to love the work and was full of "stickers' by the end of the day. His reaction in declining the offer of going to the pizza place shows his changed attitude about the day.

Thus, we can assume that Justin's relationship with Taya may be annoying at the start but at the end of the day, he grows to enjoy her company and the tasks that he was assigned to do. This can be seen through his denial to go to his favorite pizza place as his mother's way of thanking him. His attitude had changed by the end of the event and was shown more accepting of everything.
