The power of money


So the other day I asked Elias and Brooke if either of them wanted to earn 50 cents for straightening up the toys under the stairs. I was amazed at the speed and enthusiasm at which they tackled the task. I passed out the quarters and within minutes Brooke was asking for more jobs. I pointed to the looming piles of laundry that needed to be folded in the living room. Happily she agreed and with Elias right along side her they folded it all. A few cents go a LONG way. The next day I went straight to the bank and bought a whole roll of quarters.
