The other night, as I put my five-year-old to bed, I told him: "If you go to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night and stay in your room past 7 a.m., I will totally pay you with cookies."
He thought for a moment, looked at me, and said, "I'd rather you paid me with
real money."
Drat.
This conversation sounds VERY familiar and made me laugh out loud! Our son, too, prefers "real money" to any other bribe!
