Pee or else!

Jaden has been off the Vanco since last Wednesday. The Doc said to collect her urine three days after finishing the medicine. So that would be last Saturday. But I had to mark my calender 'collect pee' on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday because Jaden is not very cooperative about peeing in a cup. So I figured it it didn't happen on Friday, we would need to try again on Saturday and if it didn't happen on Saturday (yes, she is wonderfully strong-willed) I would need to try again on Sunday and so I needed to mark the calender each day so I wouldn't forget to do it.
Well, Friday came and she didn't cooperate. She left the bathroom and when she finally decided to go, I was busy with other things and didn't see her slip into the bathroom. (She is really smart, too) But on Saturday morning, God reminded me that the Doc asked to have the urine collected three days after stopping the medicine, for best results. So I determined to get that pee on Saturday. I followed God's Grace into the bathroom as soon as she woke up. She was protesting. I went (took her with me so she wouldn't quickly sit on the toilet while I was gone) to the freezer and got out her chocolate ice cream. (Dairy free so doesn't taste that great) I took it and her back to the bathroom and placed the carton on the sink. I said, "Jaden Grace. We need your pee today. You need to cooperate. If you pee in that cup, I will give you a bowl of ice cream for breakfast"
She thought for 10 seconds, pulled her pants down and peed, right where I wanted her to.
I think I am a genious.
