The Art of Childhood Bribery

Before I was a parent, I knew that I would never, not even ever, bribe my child to do something. 

This morning, my sister was leaving with Mini for a short trip to the park.

"If you have trouble getting her to leave,"  I said,  "offer her these," and I gave my sister a packet of yoghurt covered fruit flakes.

This is the kind of parent I have become.
