sweet~
This is a conversation between my coworker and his daughter. It's so sweet that I'm just going to share it:
Joe S says:
We try to teach Ellie the value of money. so when she wants to buy things, we will ask her to give us the money (from her piggy bank).
It was effective.
We also told her that she can earn money. if she make her bed, we would give her a quarter.
This morning, while I was having breakfast, she came to me and told me she's made her bed and mommy's (my) bed. That's worth 50 cents. I gave her a dollar and told her I want 50 cents back :D
she came back to me with the loonie and told me she would like to a hug and kiss instead. :D

Love is a verb
so i'm reading this book that has claimed sold over 15 million copis...
still not totally convinced yet...
but there is this part which i think deserve attention:
...a man came up and said, "Stephen, I like what you're saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I'm really worried. My wife and I just dont have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just dont love her anymore and she doesn't love me. What can I do?"
"The feeling isnt there anymore?" I asked.
"That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?"
"Love her", I replied.
"I told you, the feeling just isnt there anymore."
"Love her."
"You dont understand. The feeling of love just isn't there."
"Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her."
"But how do you love when you don't love?"
"My friend, love is a verb. Love-the feeling-is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?"

and then the book goes on telling people to be proactive. Love is a verb, and reactive people make it a feeling.
