Last week the kids and I attended Vacation Bible School all week during the mornings. Audrey had her own preschool class to go into, but after the first day it became an issue for her. She wanted to stay with me in my "class", where I was teaching the kids the songs and hand motions.
No matter what I said about how fun her class was, how her teacher missed her, how her friends would be there asking for her, she didn't bite. All there was was sobs and tears, clinging to my pantleg. All this and we hadn't even left the house yet for the second day.
Along comes Daddy, asking Audrey what's wrong. We explained the trouble, to which he responded, "Audrey you need to go into your class today, and when you are ALL done with it, we will give you a treat. Would you like a treat?"
Audrey sniffed and nodded her head demurely.
Dad said, "Ok then. After you finish YOUR class today [a parent's day is full of repetition], Daddy will give you a treat. What would you like for a treat?"
Audrey, without hesitating, said "Five dollars."
From the mouths of babes.

That has got to be the funniest thing I have heard/read today!!!! Life at DisneyLand taught your daughter how to ask for nothing cheap didn't it? I love this!!!! Hey Audrey, if this works next time ask for $10.00 so I can have a cut too ok? I love and miss you Audrey keep smiling that beautiful smile ok? Love Lisa
I thought the story was going to end when Daddy said she had to go to class. For instance, when I ask our chocolate lab to jump in the bed of the truck, he puts 2 paws up and waits for me to LIFT him in. When Mike asks, he sails in with all four legs no problem. I guess they know who the softies are.
