Rewards and Consequences

When Jessi dropped off Sveta Thursday, she told her that she could have a reward if she was well behaved for Grandma and Goppa. I knew this was not going to be a problem because she is always very agreeable, compliant and obedient. Throughout the whole day we kept reminding her by asking, "What do you get if you're a good girl?" She replied, "A re-ord" (reward).

When we dropped off Sveta at home, her mommy asked if she'd been good. Sveta said that she had been good and immediately requested her "re-ord". Her mommy praised her good behavior and asked her to tell us what happens when she does not obey. She said, "There are "con-de-quences (consequences) and con-de-quences are NO fun!". Indeed con-de-quences are not fun. Thankfully we didn't have to impose any! :-)

Isn't that what life is all about? Just a bunch of "re-ords" and "con-de-quences".
