As you know, I’m all about the incentives. 😉

DS enjoys a little taster of wine or beer occasionally with dinner (1oz - nothing crazy). Last week, he was dragging his heels on doing homework, and I threatened to take away his wine and bearnaise with his steak if it wasn’t done by the time dinner was on the table.

DS: Not the bearnaise!

Me: Oh yes.

DS: Red or white?

Me: Red.

DS: Which one?

Me: Syrah-Grenache. The one we had last week.

DS: *Gets to work*

If only schools could bribe our kiddos with their preferred currencies…mine is, fortunately, an easy mark as a meat-eating lush in training. 😂

Also - that’s great news about AP lit - I love the initiative!!
