Here is a conversation that I had with my girls a while back.

Grace and Ava fighting over a pillow.

Mom: Ava you had that pillow last time. It's Grace's turn.

Ava: (Crying)

Mom: Grace what do you think Heavenly Father and Jesus want you to do?

Grace: (Thinking)

Grace: OK. Ava can have it if I can have a dollar.

Mom: Deal.

Hmmmmm, I don't think you will be reading about this tactic in any parenting books. However, it will be chapter 2 in my book. I think I will title the book "My View of the Big Top: From Inside One of the Three Rings." Two of the chapters will be: Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you silence and Why can't Diet Coke go in a bottle?

Seriously, why can't diet coke go in a bottle? And why do kids fight over things like pillows? Today at my house it was a hanger. A hanger? Seriously? James has a nice goose egg on his forehead as a result.
