Stick(er) it to 'em



In an effort to motivate me at school (she's not deaf, obviously she's heard me complaining some this time around), my adorable child has provided me with the above selection of stickers and helpful advice on how to use them to get my work done. She suggests setting a timer and setting a goal for myself in the allotted time. If I am successful, she says I can give myself a sticker to decorate my computer.

When I talk to her at night, she frequently asks me if I got any stickers today. This invariably makes me smile. And because I don't want to a) lie to her and b) disappoint her, I find myself using this system of mild-mannered behaviour modification.

In so many ways, she has truly changed my life.
