He'll soon be down to one coat. Maybe he can earn back other coats by hanging up the one lonely coat that he has left a certain number of days in a row! I am full of helpful behavior modification plans! Ha. And a teacher and mother of 3 who hangs up an awful lot of coats for people that are perfectly capable of hanging up their own. (But I do hide muddy shoes that aren't lined up neatly on the ramp...making it take just THAT much longer to get ready for recess.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029208.post-22517292992875513712007-02-01T14:37:00.000-06:002007-02-01T14:37:00.000-06:00There are many ways that Buffy and Jason could go ...There are many ways that Buffy and Jason could go about this. I suspect, however, that if someone can make peeing into a white porcelain bowl fun they could do the same for hanging jackets. Of course jackets don't have streams to cross.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029208.post-59454883850913247162007-02-01T11:28:00.000-06:002007-02-01T11:28:00.000-06:00Man, I dunno if it's POSSIBLE to make hanging jack...Man, I dunno if it's POSSIBLE to make hanging jackets rewarding...<br /><br />Jason, you should come up with somehting since you've opened this Pandora's box.

That way they have their own special purpose and do not need constant washing.<br /><br />Hmm, I wonder why Jude prefers playstation, physical activity, and giving you dirty looks over hanging clothes??? Could it be that the former are intrinsically rewarding while hanging clothes is a purposeless (to him) and neverending task (do to the amount of laundry). Plus if he doesn't hang his clothes he might get a chance to give you one of those looks! <br /><br />I think limiting his clothing consumption is a great idea. But how could you make hanging his clothes a rewarding experience...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
