My dad challenged the students at the school where he is the principal to read a combined 1,000 minutes. The reward would be getting to push him down the hall on a tricycle while he wore mismatched clothes inside out.
This honestly means so much in the education system, badass father. More people like this need to be in schools. Seeing someone happy in a school can do so much for a kid when everything seems grey, looks like a great man :)
In my elementary school for every book you read you got a token for a piece of duct tape. At the end of the year we had a big assembly where the vice principal (who was a big ex-marine guy who, according to local legend, had an electric paddle for particularly naughty kids) was standing on a chair against a wall. You turned in your piece of duct tape and you'd get one foot of tape at this assembly and the idea was to tape this big scary guy to the wall. When they pulled the chair out from under him and he stuck to the wall we all went wild.

Now I'm jealous of your childhood. Was the parenting you received at home like this?
