Black and Whites
Hoping for more cooperation at bedtime, I called out to the kids, "Five points for whoever is in their pajamas first!" This is a ploy David invented a while ago, so it pops up now and then. Emmett usually yells, "What are the points for???" but doesn't demand an answer before hurrying up.
Later when bedtime was nearly over, Henry asked me, "Did I get all the black and whites?" I have no idea how "points" morphed to "black and whites" but somehow it did. Since then, points have always been called "black and whites" around here. Emmett gets the black and whites for getting in the car first, Henry gets the black and whites for being the first one under the age of four into the car (Henry always needs some black and whites). Luke likes to get them, too, but seems less interested than the other two.
