Evidence of Bribery

Mia is a daredevil. She loves pushing her toys up and down the driveway as fast as she can. I cringe the whole time. Now that she is learning to ride a trike, we decided we really need to get her in the habit of wearing a helmet. We thought maybe the lavender helmet with the flashing lights would appeal to her adventurous yet feminine side, but she rejected it with a vengeance. Then Jeff had a brilliant idea. He told her he'd give her a popsicle if she'd wear the helmet. I didn't know this little negotiation had taken place, so when he called me outside, I assumed Mia had injured herself. You see, the only time Mia gets popsicles is when she has bumped her head. She has a tendency to cry loud and long for even a minor injury, so it is hard to tell when a visit to the ER is in order. We give her a popsicle and if she stops crying immediately (as she does 99.5% of the time), we know it is not too serious.
Now to figure out how to get her to wear her helmet without the popsicle bribe.
