When Turbo was about 3 or 4 he got it in his head that if he hadn't yawned yet then he must not be tired and therefore was not subject to bedtime rules.
Right.
So I figured I would outsmart the kid; use a little psychological warfare.
We are aware that yawning is contagious. The latest scientific theory suggests that it is borne out of empathy. It's a theory, whatever.
So I start in with the yawning.
One yawn.
Nothing from the boy.
Another yawn, this one even bigger.
Nothing. Is he even human?
Third yawn...you know what the little cuss says?
"Daddy, I think you should go to bed, you seem tired"
Parenting is hard when you have a little genius.

Is the comment "funny!" getting old? 'Cause that's funny! Outsmarted by the wee one!
no...never is praise old.
and I wasn't outsmarted!
he's just not human.... there's a difference!
he didn't win by intelligence he won because he is a freak of nature not influenced by a yawn...and now he has hairy balls.
we will all be bowing to his despotic controll soon enough...
