how-to-get-what-you-want-at-the-snack-bar tutorial

Photobucket
1.  Hide from your mom....but scream loudly so that she can find you easily.

2.  Give her this look,  you know........the one that says, "I-can't-survive-for-one-more-second-without-a-ring pop/airhead/cotton candy/walking taco/chili cheese fries/slushie!!!"

3.  Put your head down for extra oomph and sympathy from passersby.  (This usually garnishes at least an extra 50 cents from mom's change pocket.)

**These instructions work particularly well in conditions that involve stressful situations, ie:  inclement weather, fussy younger brothers, close games, or unclean park conditions.**

Great tutorial. I'll be sure never to let my kids see it though I am pretty sure that this type of behavior comes naturally. I love your sense of humor!!

That is a great tutorial. I bet it can be applied in other circumstances too. Like, food courts and grocery store check out lines.
