I want my five bucks!

My daughter didn't want to put away her clothes. I told her I would do it for her if she paid me five bucks. She immediately got her birthday money and the deal was sealed. The thoughts/questions go through my head:

Oops, that wasn't what I expected. I have those oops moments more than I would like to admit.

Am I cheap labor?

Does my daughter not get the value of money?

Did she learn anything?!!!

What a bum. Come on girl, what are you going to be like when you are a teenager?

Oh well.... that money will go towards my more expensive hair products that make me feel guilty.

As I finale to the whole escapade. I didn't do it time. She fired me and did it herself. I didn't plan it, but it worked.
