    oh yes I know the feeling- at least I remember it well from the toddler years when my youngest challenged me in ways so strenuous it should have been a olympic sport……… but I am not sure I could ever have been this blatant … or rich….!

    Yikes indeed, but I bet we all know where she’s coming from – that feeling of “I will give you just about anything for 5 minutes of cooperation. I am at the end of my rope, and cannot consider the long-term consequences at this moment.” Or you know, maybe bribery is her thing…
