Me: Come on, Drew. If it doesn’t come out tonight, you will probably lose it in school tomorrow, and that would not be so good.
Drew: No.
Me: Okay, I tell you what, if you let Daddy pull it now, I’ll give you $5.
Rest of the family: ooooo….
Drew: $6
Me: $5.50
Drew: Is that more than $5?
Me: Yes.
We shake hands. And, Daddy gets a napkin.
The rest is history.
Pathetically, I am now finding myself sneaking into the kids’ rooms to their chore money containers and borrowing money to leave the $5.50 owed Drew. I should’ve started with $2 and gone up to $2.50. I found $5.25 in Evan’s room and left a note there so I’d pay him back. He’ll never notice. Had to take the other quarter from Drew’s own money. I’ll replenish it. Honest.
