How to kill two birds (or flies) with one stone

Ryan hates flies and the girls love making money. So last night Ryan told the girls he would give them a quarter for every fly they killed in the house (that, ironically, THEY had let in earlier that day). Addy's count is currently $3.00 and Halle's is $1.00. Ryan did say that if he caught them letting in flies, they would be penalized 50 cents per incident. It's working out quite nicely, I might say.

flies are the bane of my existence. I may have to adopt this policy, but only if I buy each kid a swatter.

This made me & robbie laugh! Good thinking on Ryan's part.
