Manipulation 101

Lately Alethea has been doing the “go completely limp when I don’t want to do what you want me to do” maneuver.  How is it that all kids know that one?  Is just instinctual or should I be looking for a copy of Manipulation 101: How to Get Your Parents to Cave Every Time under Alethea’s mattress?
