Just got to find the right motivation...

I have been trying for several years now to get Alex to stop wiping his hands on his clothes while he is eating. Nothing has worked. So last week I told him if I caught him wiping his hands on his clothes he would have to pay me a quarter. After a few days he said “Ann, I haven’t wiped my hands on me for 3 days!” I enthusiastically responded with all the accolades I could. To which he responded, “I think I didn’t stop before because there was no punishment.” Aarrg!
