Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I much prefer the herds of feral cantaloupe idea.
You guys! You guys! Guess what I'm doing tomorrow! GOING TO DISNEYLAND. I am at this very moment eating breakfast at Drew & Kristin's house. Pete and Drew have gone to run some errands. DISNEYLAND TOMORROW. They'd better have my rental agreement for the Haunted Mansion this time.
Apparently my mother suggested a family vacation to Disneyland. My sister demurred in order to keep Micky safe. She thinks my mother would make him cry.
Is there any way to flip it to a positive reinforcement system? If you get out the door on time, you can have/do x?
We use that sometimes, but that leads to more time loss over negotiating the deal than actual doing what needs to be done. "Not one toy, two! And you need to buy it today!" "Uh, no." Unless they are of a mood to cooperate, positive reinforcement doesn't work.
msbelle's suggestion could work. I'll try it. Certainly you've dealt with oppositional behavior, which really is what it comes down to. Isaac is very defiant seemingly just to be defiant.
Lucky you Jilli. The Haunted Mansion was closed last time I was there and I was sadface.
Hey? Can I ask a favor of you since you're in the area? I'd love to meet up and get you to sign Gillian's book for me. (I'm such a bad one about mailing things!)
She thinks my mother would make him cry.
Is your mother prone to terrorizing cartoon characters?
I'm a bit bummed that the Pirates ride is closed for renovation, but that just means I'll go on Haunted Mansion and the teacups more times.

Let me check with the Keeper Of The Schedule (which is SO not me), but I think we can manage that!
My mother is prone to instilling terror in general, and I think she fundamentally doesn't get cartoon characters made 3D.
No, I don't know why she'd suggest Disneyland, then.
So I have a date this weekend. She lives a 12 hour drive away, so I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
She's getting her PhD in History at the University of Alabama.
No, I don't know why she'd suggest Disneyland, then.
Because it's Disneyland? I dunno.
Look, I have no shame: if I became wealthy beyond my wildest dreams (or even wealthy to the level of my wildest dreams, I'm not picky), I would visit every Disney theme park. I've seen photos from Disney Hong Kong, and I must go there.
How'd you score a date 12 hours away, tommy? SHARE.
