Momservation: <\/b>It\u2019s not bribery\u2014it\u2019s reward based encouragement.<\/p>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a<\/p>\n

Apparently, I\u2019ve been going about this all wrong.<\/p>\n

Here I was trying to get people to like me by hoping to give them a chuckle, maybe some useful parenting tips, or even a satisfyingly good tear-jerker now again with my Momservations<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

Who knew all I had to do was post an If-I-Get-a-Million-Likes photo to Facebook by way of an adorable kid with an irresistible plea\u2014you\u2019re golden!<\/p>\n

I mean, really, Facebook is populated with pleading pictures for a million Likes. Heck, I just Liked a picture trying to get some cute twins to Disneyland<\/a>. Dad better start booking the airline tickets now because those cutie-patooties were already up to 775,000 Likes by the time I hit \u2018em up.<\/p>\n

The short amount of time it\u2019s taking to get these million Likes is amazing too. I just Liked a picture of a teacher trying to illustrate for her students the cautionary tale of photos they post going viral <\/a>(or just being visual to thousands of strangers). By the time I Liked it last week the photo had been circulating for a week and she was already up to 275,000 likes and 45,000 comments. It currently has over 4 million Likes.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019m going to give it a whirl! And I\u2019m okay if people just kinda like me. I don\u2019t need a million Likes. \u00a0Maybe just 1,000 to my Momservations\u00ae Facebook page<\/a> just so I know it\u2019s not just my mom, dad, and grandma who are reading me (actually, Gramma doesn\u2019t even read me because she doesn\u2019t own a computer or smart phone).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enlisted the help of one of my children (the one the other two will argue is my favorite). But I\u2019ve learned the cuter the better, so I think this one\u2019s the best choice. I\u2019ve also thrown in the irresistible urge to help factor. Trust me, if you guys get me to 1,000 Likes\u2014Darby won\u2019t just be my best friend anymore. She will be eternally grateful and loyal to all of you who made her fondest wish come true:<\/p>\n
