Making Mommy Proud

This morning PS was peeved because TT was wearing her shorts. TT came into my room to inform me that PS had told her that she had to take off the shorts or pay her $1. I told TT that she didn't have time to change, and since I bought all of PS's clothes, she did not have the right to charge rent for them.

A few minutes later both girls came running downstairs with a piece of paper--a contract. It read "I [TT] promise not to wear [PS's] clothes without permission or unless mom or dad says I have to." With signature lines and everything.

TT wanted me to review it before she signed. I informed them that it was not an enforceable contract unless supported by consideration. TT was the only one giving up anything--the right to steal her sister's clothes.

The girls disappeared again, and when they came back downstairs the next time TT was carrying a stuffed dog and PS had her signed contract.

PS says she has no interest in becoming a lawyer, but I still think there's hope.
