I was making dinner when the Tagster comes over.
T: What's for dinner.
M: [I forget]
T: Eeeeew!!
M: [totally sick of dealing with ewww's despite using every parenting technique I've heard of] Ok, if you pay me $5 then I'll make you something else.
T: [suspicious] Like what?
M: Fish sticks. [I totally thought that he'd say no, considering how much he likes money]
T: Ok. Let me know when my fish sticks are done.
Tonight we did the same thing. I made fajitas, he didn't want them, I nuked him a quesadilla and dished him a half of a canned pear. Another easy $5.
And now... he's out of money.
We'll have to see what he does on stir fry night.

That's funny.
the guy puts his money where his mouth is, eh?
Yes, he does. :) But I do too, at Chipotle. I'll take him out for lunch with my ill-gotten gains. It's his birthday money, after all, and I'm starting to feel guilty. The trick is to not let him know that I feel that way...
That's awesome. You're my hero. In fact, I'm thinking you've given me an idea. A while back we instituted a reward program where Micah could earn family dollars. He can then cash those in on items sold in a family store (things like time on the Wii, going out to breakfast with mom or dad, etc.). Maybe we could let him buy a separate dish on nights when mom makes something he doesn't care for. Maybe.
Hey! Can I copy Mediocre's idea! I like the idea of "family" dollars rather than real dollars because then I wouldn't have to take him to Walmart!
