A little scam artist in the disguise of my 2 1/2 year old little boy...

So I have a funny Konner story that I have to share.....
Konner goes pee in his potty pretty good. He hasn't had accidents (maybe a couple) so far. We used candy (the love of his life) to bribe him with peeing. But candy wasn't working for poop. He flat out would not poop in the potty. Candy didn't work this time. So I got this idea that I would use presents as a bribe. Konner asks daily for presents, he wants to know if Santa has brought him more presents. We started this present bribe yesterday. Julie kept his bag of presents on the bathroom sink so that whenever he went in to go potty he would see the presents. And when he would ask for presents Julie told him he had to go poo poo in the potty first. He finally told her that he would not go poo poo at her house, that he would wait and go at home. So true to his word, he held it all day long. When we got home lastnight he asked for presents again. I told him he had to go poo poo in the potty in order to get a present. So he immediately told me that he had to go poo poo. So we went into the bathroom and he pulled his pants and underwear down and started pushing and pushing. His face turned red while he pushed. After a minute he jumps up and says really excitedly "I did it!!". I looked and there was this little poop ball in his toilet. Small as it was, he did go some in his potty and so I must give him a present. His presents are little Hotwheel cars and the little 88 cents toys from Wal-mart all individually wrapped. So anyway, are you thinking he may be constipated since there was only one little ball in his potty after all that pushing? Well don't! I gave him one of his presents. He opened it up and saw a new car and expressed his excitement. And then he told me he had to go poo poo again. So off we went back to the potty. He sat down and proceeded to push and push again. He jumps up again and excitedly says he did it and then asks for his present. I gave him another present. He opened it, was excited to see it was another car, and then jumps up to tell me that he has to go poo poo again. Now at this point I am starting to get a little suspicious. It's not like he has diarrhea!!! But we go back to the potty and he sits back down and pushes and pushes and jumps up again to tell me he did it again and wants to have another present. Is anyone else starting to think this kid is scamming me? Or is it just me? I gave him another present. He opened it again, expressed his excitment over yet another car (he can't have too many of those) and jumps right back up, runs for the bathroom while holloring "I have to go poo poo again!!" At this point I have realized I am being scammed. So I told him that I am done with this little bit at a time thing and he needs to get it all out now. This time Mike took him to the potty, and Konner did his same routine for his dad. After his dad finished praising him he told his dad he wanted a present. Mike came out and told me that Konner only went a little bit. Yah, I know. So Konner asks again for his present and Mike gives him another present. I told Mike that I am done with this game tonight. Konner came running back into the kitchen area after opening his 4th present and told me he had to go poo poo again. Come on!!!! 5 times??? So I told him no. I told him that he could go poo poo tomorrow and get a present for it tomorrow. He said "I have to go poo poo mommy!!! Please!!!" How long can this go on? Seriously? So I told him that tomorrow he can go poo poo at Julie's and get another present. He went off to play. Half an hour later he walked over to Mike and said "I go poo poo right here dad" as he pointed to his underwear. The kid really had more in him!! And since I wasn't playing the game anymore and refused to put send him back to the potty (my bad!) he let all the rest out in his underwear! Poor Mike had to clean that!! LOL!
