Weary of constantly picking clothes up from the floor of her son’s room, a mother finally laid down the law. Each item of clothing she had to pick up would cost her son 25 cents.
By the end of the week, he owed her $9. 50. She received the money promptly, along with a 50 cent tip and a note that read, “Thank you, Mom! Well done! Keep up the good work!”
