Tonight I told my 3 sons that in order to get ice cream they would have to eat all of their veggies. James (my 7 year old) tried to convince me that he had exactly an ice cream size amount of room in his stomach, and if he ate any veggies then he would be too full.
After dinner James was told he would not get ice cream. He responded by running out of the room. When I searched for him a few minutes later, I found him locked in the bathroom.
"James, are you in there?"
"Yes, I'm in here and I'm gonna stay locked in here until I either get ice cream or I grow old and die."
He did eventually come out, ate his vegetables, and earned ice cream.
