Where was I? Ah yes, my evil genius son had figured out before my very eyes that if I am not with him, I don't know if he's following the rules or not.
We had a long talk about trust and character. I said I wanted him to grow up to be a person who always does the right thing even if he knows he can't get caught doing the wrong thing. Amelia got in to it also and now they are allowed to chew gum at school and they won't try to sneak it home.
The chore chart is working marvelously. I suspect in a week or two they will start campaigning for a raise.
Amelia found someone at school to teach her to play chess. She is also trying to start a business that involves making paper bags but she keeps stapling the tops closed.
