A Deal

Lucas lost a book at bedtime tonight because he wouldn't put on his jammies in a timely manner. We read the remaining two books, and went to brush teeth.

L: Mama, I'll make you a deal.
J: It's time to brush teeth, Lucas. I'm not making any deal.
L: No no no, it's a GOOD deal for you. You will read me one more book and I will give you my allowance.*
J: If I needed money, that would be a good deal for me. But I don't make deals about bedtime.

Nice try, Lucas. Who says a 4 year old can't understand the value of money?

*$4 each Friday
