Holden and Ridge were trying to earn money for their school carnival. From the list bellow Holden kept himself very busy and quickly earned enough for his wristband. Ridge avoided the work and the list for as long as possible, he finally read the list and came to ask me (fully knowing the answer) if he could have $3 for "using the bathroom"! I laughed and said good try buddy! He was sheepish but a little tempted to argue with me... finally he agreed to do actual work appropriate for his being six not four and he was able to earn some cash.
