The Bet

When the school had started, I said to my sister and brother, who still in middle school, if they show me their grade which A. I will gave them $2 for each one they got. But the grade must be on the quarter's grade because if they show me the report grade on every month they got, I won't be able to pay them. Because some of them are doing very good.

When the first quarter grade was given, three of them showed me their grades. One of my sister got all A's which worth $16. Other sister got two A's and my brother got three A's. I won't be able to pay them right away because I have so much stuff to pay for. I didn't have enough money to pay them until I got my next pay check. I told them that, if I got money; I will pay them later. No one forgot about it. My brother kept asking me to give him money, but I always said that I will pay him soon. He kept hoping that he will receiving those money as soon as I got my pay check.

Last week, which was the Hmong New Year, I gave them the money because they had waiting for me about a month ago. I really want to give them what they had accomplish, but I have a lot of bills to pay for. So I have to wait until all my bills got over, I will be able to pay them.

It was great to see them bring good grades home and showed what they have done. Hoped that in the next quarter, they will bring up the same grade to show me again. But the money will talk later because they know what I will say to them. The most important thing was to see how much they can improve themselves and how they did.
