$100

we were in the car headed home and i asked chloe where her backpack was. she started freaking out because she didn't know.

"i left it!"

"oh, nevermind. i remember, its at home."

"no it isn't!" (very dramatic)

"yes, it is, chloe. i remember, its by the door."

"no, its not. i promise!"

"chloe, if its not by the door i will give you a hundred dollars."

her eyes get really big, "ok" (sneaky smirk)

we get in the house and she sees her backpack. "mom!" she starts to cry. "i wanted a hundred dollars!"

i tried to explain to her that i wouldn't have wagered $100 if i wasn't sure that it was there. but she didn't get it.
