Cream Puffs

Bribery has a bad reputation as far as its use as a parenting tool, but I have used it for 21+ years now and, hey, it works for me.

What do you do when you have a grumpy, cranky, too many sleepovers in a row 9 year old girl who just found out we're NOT going to the fair this weekend? Your options are pretty limited: slip some nyquil into her juice and cross your fingers for a long nap, send her to her room to google what the children in north korea are doing this weekend, or buy her two ginormous cream puffs if she'll stop pouting at the store.

Cream puffs it is.
