Last Saturday I decided that the kitchen floor needed to get swept. Taking a cue from what I've discovered motivates college students, I said to the kids, "Who wants to earn some bonus points?" Emily promptly said, "Oh, I do! I do!" I told her to go sweep the kitchen floor and I would give her some bonus points. Off she went! Pretty funny.

Leslie turned down the bonus points, so I assigned her to help as part of her Saturday chores. She accepted that gracefully.

Anyway, I decided Emily might be more ready to start college than Leslie. ;-)
