Book Report

The boy has a book report due soon, and has to get a certain number of Reading Counts points every nine weeks. He hasn't taken a test yet this year, so I thought I would get creative.

me- Hey, if you finish your book this weekend AND the book report, you can buy three songs on iTunes.
L- Okay.
me- (wow, that was easy I should have done that weeks ago) Get to reading.
L- I finished that book two days ago. And the book report is halfway done already.

Maybe next time I should get more info BEFORE I try to wheel and deal with a seventh grader.

That's too funny! Yeah, it might be a good idea to see if he's done or not, lol! At least he was done with the book and almost done with the report.

lol--tried to call you tonight--W said you had just left (at least I think it was W). I don't think he knew it was me :).

I had to pick up L from small group. He didn't tell me you called. He told me Crystal called at lunch time yesterday five minutes before he went to bed, lol.

That is just too funny! I see Landon is not the only one that uses bribs. I thought I would call back when I didn't hear from you. I didn't think you had gotten the message.
