Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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!)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

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.

We met on Geek 2 Geek. She's an INFP like me, and I was impressed that she's studying naval history.

On Saturday we're driving to Mobile to tour the battleship USS Alabama.
