Like Pulling Teeth

I really must start praying that my children form a good work ethic. And how do I know? Because this is the conversation I just had with my darling 7 year old:

Her: "Hey mom, I need $9 to pay for the new game I want."

Me: "Well, it won't be long if you save your money."

Her: "Yeah, but how can I get some money."

Me: "Well, if you keep losing teeth like you have lately it won't take long at all!!"

Her: "Or I could do some chores."

Me: "(with great rejoicing!) AWESOME!! I would love to pay you for doing some chores!"

Her: "Na...I think I'll just wait for the teeth!!"

Blessings,
Dori
