Raise your hand if you recognize the flaw(s) in this negotiation...
(Mom) "You can't have a popsicle until all of the pizza is gone off of your plate."
Aside from the obvious nutritional flaw, my mom didn't see that putting all of my dinner under my plate was an option. Thanks for dessert. B=1, Mom=0.
hahahah! this reminds me of when i was a kid (around 7 yo) and was told that if i didnt clean my room everything on the floor was going to be thrown away..... so i put everything i wanted to keep on my bed and played barbie for the next hour! then my daughter age 4 did the same thing! also reminds me of the "im full!"... "an i have dessert?" my daughter told me that her dinner stomach was full but her dessert one was empty: funny thing is.. I used this same ploy after learning that cows had four stomachs!
