I have succumbed to bribery with my children. This time my bribe worked better than I can imagine and it was adorable! Here’s what happened..
Mommy: “Okay kidos here’s your lunch. Hope you eat because I got you a treat.” (I knew they didn’t understand, which is good. Didn’t want to use my bribe just yet)
Alexis: “ahhh done, mommy” while pushing bowl away.(After eating aprox. 5 bites)
Mommy: “You need to eat more”
Alexis: “ahhh done, mommy, no mo”
JB: “ahh done”
Mommy: “Mommy got you donughts, if you eat all your lunch you can have one. But you have to eat ALL your lunch”
Alexis: “OKAY!!!” Hastily grabs bowl back and inhales her food.
Alexis: “ahh done, mommy, a dony”
JB: “ahh done, mommy, a dony, a dony, a dony”
Mommy: “Good Job Alexis, but you need to wait until mommy and daddy finish eating”
Alexis: “ok”
Daddy: “No, Jeremiah, you do not get a doughnut unless you eat all your food”
JB: “a dony, a dony, a dony”
Mommy and Daddy: “you need to eat all your food!”
As mommy and daddy took their last bites of food…
Alexis: “A dony, YAY!, Mommy ahh done, Daddy ahhh done”
Mommy: “Almost, but let’s Jeremiah finish his food”
Alexis: “ okay…….” Then she grabs his bowl picks up a fork full and feeds it to her brother while saying “a Miah, ahh done, a dony” She scoops another fork full and feeds it to him, and then another. Puts the bowl down and looks at me and says “a miah , ahh done, mommy. dony??”
They got their doughnuts!
