Ways and Means

Last night, we informed my daughter that as of the start of the school year -- effectively, today -- we were making two changes to her weekly routine.

First, when she does her weekly cleanup of her room, she must clean up her materials from the kitchen table, which has morphed into being her work table. She doesn't have to clean it off, but it has to be neat. She took this information glumly.

Second, we're increasing her weekly allowance by a dollar.

She jumped from her chair, ran in a circle through the dining room, kitchen, living room, and back, three times, without stopping, laughing wildly the whole time.

I think she likes the idea.
