The new Godfather – my eight year old??
As some of you may have seen on my facebook status yesterday I tried to bribe my eight year-old son, with $5 bucks, to watch his younger sister so I could finish the edits on my book. He negotiated me up to $15 and then offered his dad $5 of that later in the day to watch her so he could go to his friends’s house. I have to admit I was proud of his business chops.
Today when he tried to collect I told him I wasn’t able to finish so I didn’t feel I owed him the full amount (I just wanted to see what he would do). He basically told me that was my problem and I was more than welcome to pay him to watch her again. That’s my boy!
He offered to go door-to-door in our neighborhood to sell my upcoming book. His plan was to tell the customer if they bought from him they would be in my top list of fans. He seemed to think that was a compelling enough reason to get someone to buy. He has no fear. I could learn a lot from him.
Have a great Monday!
