We have a new term in our house...it's the $5 bed. As you may know from previous posts, we have a rule in our house...your bed MUST be made EVERY day. I just think the whole room looks messy if the bed is not made....it's just one of my things (that I got from my mom)!
Anyways, Brit is my, how should I say this, "not so neat" child! She does everything fast...to get it done...including making her bed. When I would tell her that it was a mess, she would say "that's the best I can do!" So I decided to see if that was the truth.
One day a few weeks ago, I told Brit to go make her bed and if it was done perfectly, I would pay her $5. (Of course, I did not tell her why I was offering $5.) So....she made her bed...it took her a few minutes longer than normal, but it was perfect...I could not have done a better job!
So...I handed her a $5 bill and told her that now that I know she can do it perfectly, I expect a "$5 bed" every day! You should have seen the look on her face!!!
