Persuasive Playmate




Jason doesn't realize yet how valuable having a little brother will be. The other day he was intent on playing darts, or "darks" as he calls them. Our neighbor across the street wasn't so interested. But, my little salesman did his best to persuade him to come on over.
Here's how it went:
Jason: Nicki, would you like to come over to play darks with me?
Nicki: No, maybe tomorrow.
Jason: Nicki, it's already tomorrow. Would you like to play darks with me?
Nicki: No, maybe tomorrow.
Jason: It's already tomorrow. (this went on for a few minutes).

Then, finally...

Jason: Nicki, why don't you come on over and we'll play darks for ONE MINUTE. Then, you can go back home.

At that point, Nicki started to back away, slowly and without any sudden movements.

Michael was in his own world, blowing kisses to strangers and trying to get away!
