cleanliness is a virtue

Dylan got off the bus this afternoon carrying an award - a baseball hat with the name of his elementary school, and an envelope containing a $20 gift card to a yummy local Chinese restaurant. "Mom, I won this today because my desk was the shiniest and cleanest in the whole class!".

I can't take credit (or blame) for everything he's learned up to this point, but I think the neat freak in me has totally gotten through to him. And if its going to keep us in good Chinese food, I'll teach him how to wash the teacher's car next!
