Of Coupons and Heaven...(part 1)

I tell Jr. and his 'buds' you must do three things each day:
 * Learn something new or question something you already 'know.'
 * Have a 'word of the day.'  The first of you to use a word you most likely would never use in conversation, has the prize of having all others have to use it once that day, too (the last one was 'eloquent').
 * Do a good deed, no matter how small.  I call them 'cupins' (smack back pocket here).


In order to get teen boys to accumulate 'cupins,' I describe them as this:
You're gonna do things in life that, with 20/20 hindsight look really stupid. When you die and you're  faced with your life's transgressions, you better to be able to reach in your back pocket for 'cupins' (smack back pocket here).


"Hey!  How's 'bout that freshman I stood up for?" ...cupin.'
"I swerved to miss a chipmunk." ....cupin.'
