Boyce: Mom, I'll make you a deal. I'll get up and go to school if you put some candy in my lunch.
Me: You're going to go to school regardless of what "deals" you want to make with me.
Boyce: Mom, just do it, okay? Getting dressed in exchange for candy.
Me: Uh, no. How about I force you into your clothes and into the school AND you get NO candy?
Boyce: Fine, I get it. You aren't in the mood to make a deal today. We'll just try again tomorrow.
Good Luck with that, Kid!
