Yeah so at first I was like the behavior chart is so complicated it will never work, and then I was like hey, remember Monopoly? I am still not sure how that board game works.
Okay so this is rough. ROUGH. The school does this holiday shop where they sell a whole bunch of plastique crapola and try to get little kiddos to buy it for their family and then they take all the money and buy each classroom pencil sharpeners or something, So this is the fourth year Helen has done the holiday shop but the good news is, she is "earning" her own money thanks to my super complicated and awesome chore chart. I give them a checklist of chores and relax in a day spa while they sing "It's a Hard Knock Life". Then I pay them in nickels and I laugh all the way to my next pedicure. Or something like that.
So this morning Helen comes down with her envelope for the holiday shop. Below.
Now, let's talk about the value put to each of us. I get $.50???? Grandma Patsy and Poppop Den get $.75. Whatevs. They're old, I'll let that go. Ted, her arch nemesis, gets a DOLLAR and poor poor Eleanor is at the bottom of the pile with a measly quarter. Ouch.
Do not get me started with Aaniayah and Ava, who merit a dollar as well. I mean, I told her this morning, we need to have a serious discussion about who carried you around in their uterus for nine months. I am pretty sure it wasn't Ava.
It is not a good idea to piss off Santa so close to Christmas.
