Most of the time the six year old is great entertainment. Other times, she is a good lesson for me in self-control. As in, I want to backhand her but I know that’s not appropriate.
ME: Would you get me a hair band?
6YO: I don’t know where they are.
ME: On my nightstand in the glass bowl.
6YO: It’s not my job.
ME: Ok. Never mind. (trying the reverse psychology thing).
6YO: What’s in it for me?
ME: Knowing that you helped someone.
6YO: (Standing there. Thinking).
ME: Never mind. Don’t worry about it. (more reverse psychology).
6YO: (walks away).
I guess reverse psychology doesn’t work on this one.
