Drawers...

Blake comes up to me this morning and asks me to give him some drawers.

Blake: Mom, Why don't you give me some drawers.
Me: Drawers?
Blake: Yes, drawers. Then I can save up some money for some toys.
Me: I don't understand.
Blake: On Curious George he got money and saved it. He did lots of drawers.
Me: Chores?
Blake: Drawers.
Me again: Chores? Blake? Jobs?
Blake: Yeah, chores.
Me: Okay. What do you want to do?
Blake: Well, I can empty the dishwasher.
Me: The dishes aren't dirty. How about if you go and brush your teeth and I give you a quarter.
Blake: Okay!

This went on for about an hour and Blake made about $2.00. It took an hour because I ran out of quarters and started giving him pennies which worked out pretty good for me. I paid him to get dressed, make his bed, clean up Bruisers' toys. All of this..for some wonderful little pennies!

I had to pay him in gumballs for some Valentine's pictures:
