Flying should probably be its own reward.

My girl, passing a tattoo parlor: Can I get a tattoo?

Me: Do you have money?

My girl: How much do they cost?

Me: Probably $75. Do you have $75? Because if you do, I'm going to make you pay me for lunch.

My girl: No. I have it in my pouch at home -- I'll go home and get it.

Me: Okay. You'll have to get there and back in 45 minutes.

My girl: I can't fly!

Me: If you could fly, I'd get you a tattoo.

[My girl jumps up and down a few times.]

Me: That's called 'jumping.' That's not flying. You're not going to learn to fly that way.

My girl: You have to jump to fly.

Me: Good point. That is the first step.
