When bribing doesn't work...

Lately I've been bribing Beatrice. I bribe her with all sorts of things, food, getting to watch a favorite movie or playing with a favorite toy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Today, after her bath, she did not want to put any clothes on and that included not wanting to wear a diaper. I tried bribing her, but to no avail. I decided to try something different. I told her I would take her new Dora bubbles AWAY. That didn't seem to phase her. I made good on my threat and took them away and put them up on the counter. She screamed and ran down the hall. I thought it was to get clothes to put on. But it was to get her step stool! She ran to get her step stool and proceeded to try to reach the bubbles up on the counter. By then I had already placed them in a cupboard. Talk about clever!! Finally I just sent her to her room. I told her she couldn't come out until she picked out some clothes to wear. I don't know how long she was in there but I finally heard her say: 'done! done mommy!' When I walked in there she had a shirt in hand and some pants. Why does my child not like to wear clothes!?
