Born Negotiator

Dallas went to work at the greenhouse today with Kevin. He always enjoys working with his Daddy and Kevin can usually find him things to do to keep him occupied. Today he asked Dallas if he wanted to clean out weeds from under the plant benches. Usually Dallas would jump at the chance to be a "working man," but today he said no, he didn't want to do that. Well, Kevin knows that normally the girls and Dallas love the chance to make a little money, and they usually get a little bit for doing extra things like that, so Kevin told Dallas he would pay him if he pulled the weeds. Dallas, immediately, without even thinking about it asked, "A hundred dollars?" Then he began to negotiate down how much he had to do. "I'll just pull the big weeds okay?" Definitely Kevin's son, already learning how to negotiate a job to get paid more for doing less lol!
