Loophole

So, we've started a behavior jar with Christopher to encourage good behavior. When he does something good, he gets a token for the jar. When he does something bad, we take one out. Whenever he lies, the whole jar is dumped out and when it's filled up, he gets to go on a "date" by choosing a place to go and the person he wants to go with (on Friday we went to BassPro per his request).

This morning I discovered he's found a loophole. He got up before Annette and I were functioning and went out into the kitchen to snag some M&M's leftover from the weekend. Annette asked him what he did this morning and he replied that he had eaten a little snack. Annette said we'll have to take away one of your behavior tokens because you're not supposed to sneak food in the morning to which he replied, "But I should get to keep it for telling the truth!"
