the kid had asked for a list of chores he could do each week to start earning some money, and the hubby and I told him we'd think it over. after sharing with him our expectations and what his weekly earnings would be...
the kid: wow! that's a lot of money!
me: yes, and that means you have a lot of responsibility now, too.
the kid: yeah, I know. I can handle it.
me: and we can write out your list of chores and we can all sign it. that will be our contract.
the kid: and we have to include how much money I get paid, too.
me: you're right. we'll include that, too.
the kid: where will we post it?
me: we don't necessarily have to post it. we can put it in a safe place where we can refer to it if we need to.
the kid: no, mommy. we need to post it. so I can hold you accountable.
are we sure this kid's only six?!
