Mommy: Raelene, when we get home, we bathe and change into pyjamas ok?
Me: No.
Mommy: But I have presents for you.
Me: (Silent contemplation - the last time she had presents for me they turned out to be a pair of Minnie Mouse panties)
Mommy: Raelene good girl or naughty girl?
Me: (Automated response) Good girl.
Mommy: If you're a good girl, listen to mommy and change clothes-Me: (Informed decision) Raelene naughty girl.
When we got home, mommy HAD to get the prezzies out to entice me to bathe and change (evil laugh).
So ...
(A) Good girl: Bathe, no presents
(B) Naughty girl: Bathe, get presents
The choice is pretty obvious, isn't it? We definitely are the best negotiatiors.
And the presents turned out to be my Halloween outfit! Yeay!
Roar!
Don't tell me I don't give you the creeps ...
Dora is annoyingly sunny and I demand a change of t-shirt to jive with the theme!
I eat small kids for dinner ...
Of course the good girl - bad girl - presents theory cannot be applied all the time.
Sometimes I let mommy win. Just sometimes.
