Parenting lesson #346

The Taste Tester Swipe - used when wonderful child decides not eat his food. As the child keeps turning head away from the spoon and resisting the food that is offered to him, swipe a bit across his lips. Inevitable action that follows is child licks his lips and realises the devil food that was being offered to him is actually very satisfying and tasty. Temporary ceasefire ensues. This maneouver gets better with practice and should not be attempted above carpet.
