Still catching up to help the reviewers in the Valley. So my subjects are very unique. Some times we offer them rewards for doing something great. One thing I do is reward DP for maximum effort during football practice. We have this thing where if he has a great week of practice, he can get a cookie and cream shake from Chic Fil A one night a week. So we are often eating at Chic Fil A. The other subjects have realized that some days DP gets a shake. So, when I call to see if I need to pick up dinner and inform SuperMom that I will pick up Chic Fil A for DP, Jr, and myself and ask them what they might want and from where; now the other two say "if you are getting a shake, I want one too". So, I end up buying three shakes on those days about half of the time. DP does not like this. He doesn't understand why they are getting a shake for doing nothing. I once said that Jr had been doing his homework very well lately, so DP says "Great, I can get a shake every day if that is the rule". He commented the last time I got all three a shake, that Lu hasn't done anything, why is she getting a shake. Apparently, he doesn't want to share the shake deal. No Shake For You in his best Soup Nazi voice. So much for trying to teach them to share. I guess you must earn the shake in his eyes.

I guess a "reward" isn't a reward if they are passed out to everyone?
