“First new rule of the house. No insults to intelligence. Say fuck as much as you want, but every time you call yourself stupid, idiot, dumb, etc., it’s five dollars in the jar.” “Five bucks? That’s extortion.” “All the more incentive to not say it.” It was a rule my mom used in our house, mostly because I had a bad habit of kicking myself when I failed a test, and I’m living proof that it worked. Positive reinforcement has nothing on capitalism when it comes to changing behaviors.
