Quinn Morgendorffer:
Mom, Dad, making you happy is the greatest reward I could ask for. Of course, when other kids get a good grade, they sometimes get, like, a little present.

Helen Morgendorffer:
Now, Quinn, I really think...

Jake Morgendorffer:
[Interrupts] I'll handle this. You're absolutely right, sweetheart. You got an A, you should be rewarded. Here you go!

Quinn Morgendorffer:
Thanks, dad.

Daria Morgendorffer:
Wait, isn't that a double standard?

Jake Morgendorffer:
Huh?

Daria Morgendorffer:
You just gave her a twenty for getting one A. What about all the As I get for free?

Jake Morgendorffer:
Yeah, but this is a special occasion, so Quinn gets a special reward; It's a motivational thing.

Daria Morgendorffer:
But won't that demotivate your other daughter whose work is consistently good?

Helen Morgendorffer:
Yes, Jake, where are you going with this?

Jake Morgendorffer:
I wasn't finished. Daria should have a consistent reward for her consistently good work.

Quinn Morgendorffer:
Hey!

Jake Morgendorffer:
And Quinn should have a special one time reward for her one time effort.

Daria Morgendorffer:
But what about a higher reward for maintaining a standard of excellence over time, perhaps with compound interest?

Jake Morgendorffer:
...[Tosses his wallet to Helen] Here, just take it! Helen, I told you I was no good at this parenting crap!
