The Art of the Deal

Evolution of negotiations with my little kid during the last week: Me: it’s time to stop gaming now. Little kid: * throws gaming device across floor, attempts to decapitate me with a kung fu kick to the head * Me: how about you get in the bath, count to ten, and then you can get out? LIttle kid: TWENTY! Twenty and I’m in! Me: hey, do you want to make a deal and get in the bath? Little kid: ok. I’m in. > Trigger warning. > > David Marsden https://davidmarsden.info/2026/02/08/trigger-warning.html
