Yesterday, we started working on using good manners. The system works very simply: good manners all day, no instigating arguments with siblings, obedience to Mom and Dad. For every infraction, you get a point. The person with the least points gets to sleep with a guinea pig in their room. Yesterday, Bard and Sweetheart tied, so they both got to keep guinea pigs in their rooms. :-) The scoreboard has been cleared and we start over, working on manners for two days, and then the winner will get the guinea pig in their room. Since we have three guinea pigs, this should work out well. If they all tie, we'll bring in a rabbit. :-)
