As Davis came up the stairs this morning, he got a scolding from me, "Davis!! You've worn those shorts the last two days in a row, and you wore that shirt on Monday. I haven't done the wash yet. Those clothes are dirty. Go back down stairs and change!!"
"But Mom, I love these clothes. I don't want to change."
"I don't care if you love the clothes," I replied. "What will people think if you keep wearing the same clothes over and over? They will think I am not taking care of you. Go change."
"But Mom, I don't want to."
"Fine. You have two choices: Go downstairs and change, or pay me a dollar for each item of clothing you want to retread in."
He then pouted his way down the stairs, and I thought for sure I had that fight won.
Then he came back upstairs.
"Davis!! Why are you still wearing those clothes?"
His reply was to hand me two dollars. He smiled.
Why do I feel like I lost this argument even though I am two dollar richer?
