A sunny Sunday morning, after a rainy gloomy Saturday, may not be the best time to convince a 14 year old boy to sit down and read Act 1 of Romeo & Juliet. Before it's been officially assigned as the next reading project.
The Drama! The Groaning! The Moaning!
The pissy face of teenage rebellion staring at me from the sofa.
But I am nothing if not a creative Mom. I resort to the typical standby that works for Mothers across land and sea.
Bribery.
Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and an hour of Xbox.
C'mon, you all know you do it.

I would do an awful lot for some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
With three boys right around your son's age, I employ bribery without apology :)
