I made a deal with #1 this morning. First I asked him if he had ever heard of the candy, Now & Later. He said he did, then I mentioned that I wanted to make a candy deal with him.
This definitely got his attention.
I let him know that it actually had nothing to do with candy, but did involve sugar. He was interested, so I continued. I proposed that if he watched the pup for me now, I would go and get Krispy Kreme, and in return he would owe me some work later.
He agreed to it before I was done explaining it. Once he heard Krispy Kreme, that was the clincher for him. He didn't need to know anything else. This kid would walk through fire for Krispy Kreme. Dangling this in front of him pretty much guarantees that he will do anything I ask.
He is munching on his Key-Lime filled, power sugar coated piece of heaven now, and I will deal out the chores in a bit. Do I know how to wheel & deal with my kids or what?
