The art of persuasion
Earlier whenever something didn't go Daniels way, he told the person he held responsible for that, that he or she was not invited to his birthday party. We heard this comment a thousand times and both before and after his actual birthday party. Which we, by the way, were invited to dispite his threats. That was very kind of him, especially since we paid for the party.
Now he has started with a new thing. He's been thinking about death a lot and whenever he doesn't get something he wants, mostly when food and drinks are involved, he announces that if he doesn't get a cookie he will die.
Daniel and I went to the local grocery store to buy dinner stuff and he wanted a muffin. I told him no. As usual he told me that if he doesn't get it he would die. Since that or the whining about it didn't help, he gave up and said:" Bye mom, I'll die now". That did the trick, he got his muffin that day.
