Recently confiscated my 12yo sons iPad, for 48hrs over the weekend. To get it back earlier he could complete several tasks around the house each task would earn him his iPad back 1hr earlier.
Unload dishwasher -1hr
Sort washing out -1hr ect
Here's where the MC kicks in and he got me good.
I was watching the football. "Get me a beer and it's 1hr off."
"So each beer I get you is 1hr off the iPad."
"Yes."
5 minutes later he appears with a cardboard box filled with every beer from the fridge.
"1 hour off for every beer delivered to you that's 24hrs off."
Look at wife. "He's got you."
"Dammit, well played son. Well played."
