A Real Conversation

Attempt #3,427 to teach my kids that good choices lead to happy consequences and bad choices to sad--

Me: If you let Mommy sleep in past 8:30 tomorrow, we will stay in our Jammies until lunch and bake chocolate chip cookies.

Henry: What happens if we wake you up early?

Me: Well, I won't have slept in so I can guarantee it won't include chocolate, cookies, or jammies.

Henry: So, like running errands and doing chores?

Me: Exactly. AND you will have to get dressed.

Grace: (dramatically falls to the floor) NOT DRESSED!!!
