Thomas asked me if I would give him money to buy football cards. I guess all the boys at school are trading them and he wants to get in on it. I gave him the money for a package of cards (to start). He and Philip buy 3 packs of cards ( one package for Sarah). Well, they pick Sarah up from kindergarten and go play with the cards. I ask Sarah if I can see her cards. She had a handful of old stickers. Thomas kept Sarah's cards for himself, and gave Philip an extra card just to kept quite. So I tell Thomas to give Sarah her cards. A few hours later I find a small stack of hand drawn football cards sitting in front of Sarah's seat at the dinning room table. I guess Thomas REALLY REALLY wanted those cards! You know what? If he is so motivated to have football cards, I could use them to actually get Thomas to do stuff...like home work!
