Team Bonding - Tumblr Posts

I have this idea that Holly tries to get our iron trio to help more in the house. She tries to be pedagogically and makes a chart with their names where they get a star sticker for every "good" act (doing the dishes or laundry, putting their stuff away...). The boys simply ignore it and Lucy is so annoyed by it that she stops doing any tidying up.

Holly is about to admit fail and give up on the project when a star appears behind one of the names. One she didn’t put there.

Turns out that Lockwood put it there as a "well done" gesture for a ghosthunting job.

Then more and more stars appear... For good actions at jobs, being there to listen, a cup of tea at just the right time... Soon, Holly's name is on the list, too.

And every time when one of our awkward kids wants to say "thank you", "glad to have you", "you're great" they say it with stars.

And they all keep their stickers like treasures they look at when they feel unworthy or unloved.

(And no, no one ever uses the chart for household duties.)
