Where does bribing get us?

I bribe my children. With sugar. So today, going on my 5th day with a nagging headache, and knowing that I had some errands to run, I offered suckers to any girl that would not fight, not disobey me, not talk meanly to her sister, and who would stay right by me in the store at all times.
We got home, ate lunch and put them down for their naps. After a 2 1/2 hour nap, Genevieve came out from her room, groggy-eyed and half asleep asking for her sucker. As I took it out of the wrapper and handed it to her, she said,
"And can I have a pepper too?"
I love this girl!
