ITs always fun to have something to look forward too!

Actually, I see that as teaching here that there are sometimes tangible rewards for behavior. As long as it isn't every time, it won't do harm, and honestly, aren't there things you won't do unless there is a reward at the end? It's that way for me ... and I'm 60 years older than Scout!!<BR/><BR/>The DMV here and the ones I went to in MO, also have seating!! You take a number and sit down to wait. Nice! And there is even a TV, although it is tuned to some news station.
