Weekend Video #33
This one seemed appropriate.
The first time my little one tries this, we're marching over to the returns counter and I'm telling them I'd like to trade in my defective kid for a deck of Pokemon cards.

The first - and only - time that my now 8 1/2 year old tried this (she was about 4) I dragged her (literally) kicking and screaming out to the car and then home where we 'talked' about it. I reminder her who was in charge.
She has yet to try throwing a tantrum since. However now she uses her blue eyes and puppy dog face to manipulate me.
Personal - I can say no to the tantrums a lot easier than I can say no to the eyes

You taught her a dangerous trick, Clint.
Trust me, as my father can attest...the eyes don't go away. The little girls just grow up into big girls who know how to exploit it a lot better. ;)
Jenna is right, I am ashamed to admit that I have found myself batting my eye lashes on more than one occassion in an attempt to get out of a speeding ticket or two.
Hint: this "technique" does not work on police women. They are ruthless.
HOLY COW! Makes me glad mine is grown!
