This morning, the children formed a union. (Now, they didn't exactly realize they'd formed a union, but as I looked at my husband while they recited their negotiations we knew what had happened.)
The demands for today:
Swimming
Going to the Movies
Going to the Park
Bowling
Or else.
The "or else" implied that they would not be forth coming with their chores unless demands were met.
Typically we don't negotiate with those who strike terror in our hearts... but something in their grins was infectious and we were reminded that, from time to time, we all deserve a break from our day to day routine.
So my little unionists are getting their demands met... for today.
Tomorrow I'll start adding some more complex chores to their list and see if the break has helped any.
