Како родител, некаде по должината на линијата го открив "Кога бев мало дете" trick.

Мојот син, веројатно четири или пет во времето, играв балон и како и повеќето мали момчиња што играат со балони, he popped it. He was very upset. The world had come to an end. I said to him, "when I was little boy, Имав балон и тоа појави и на крајот, I got a new balloon." It seemed to help him cope with his loss and led to a fun talk about what it was like when I was a little boy.

That worked well as a consolation technique and I used it a several times over the next period of time. I did get into trouble once when his Monster Rancher 3 creature died. I talked about how my dog, Принцот, had died in a car accident. Овој пат, Неговиот одговор беше, "Now I feel bad about two things!" I shied away from using the "when I was a little boy" техника за утеха после тоа.

Пред мртов пес инцидент, сепак, I had also started to use the technique to convince him to do chores. "When I was a little boy, I had to go out and get the newspaper", "clean my room", "get Mommy her coffee cup", итн.

Тоа исто така беше прилично успешна за време, but he started to increasingly rebel against the tyranny of my childhood. One event, особено, marked the end. I told him to bring the garbage cans from curb back to the garage. He argued and I responded, "When I was a little boy, I had to take the garbage back to the garage." He responded, "Oh yeah! Well when you were a little boy, кој беше глупаво!".
