Love, Delaney

You know how bribery is a debated parenting technique? As in, many people expect their children to listen and are not willing to bribe them.

Me? Not so much. Maybe 8 years ago, when Jackson was 4 months old, I would have looked down on bribery as a form of behavior modification, but not today. No, sir.

Do I think my kids won't do anything without being bribed? No. But obviously it is an oft used technique in the Clark household. Where's my proof? Here is the valentine I got in the mail today, sent by Delaney from preschool.

Jonathon sees nothing wrong with bribery - he calls it "that which inviteth and enticeth to do good"!!!! Delaney is cute!
