Reverse Psychology Anyone?

Someone mentioned reverse psychology. I think they're on to something.

LOL!

This evening I did Missy's speech homework with Buster....
and what do you know?!
She could pronounce just about anything he could.
Since I was focusing on her brother and "ignoring" her
there were no control tactics to deal with,
no sudden onset amnesia,
no blatant disobedience (since I was requiring nothing of her)
just a LOT of striving to win my recognition and get my FULL ATTENTION!

Too funny. Well, I guess encouraging competitiveness is not exactly the best idea
BUT she sure showed me a thing or TWO!
