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?

    it is called the “wet noodle”. At least that is what my mom calls it…I remember her talking about kids in ss etc and she would say, “That kid does the wet noodle”.
