Busy Extortionist

Overheard upstairs at home last night:

Busy Boy (age 11, until tomorrow) to Busy D. (age 6): "NO! I will not give you money to leave me alone!!"

Don't think of him as an Extortionist...

Think

Busy Entrepreneur

or maybe

Busy Politician

He's pretty clever for his age. Maybe it'll work when Busy Boy gets a little older.

Have a great weekend.

Hmm...it worked for my parents. They'd give me money, I'd be quiet and go away.

Hey!! I recognize that tactic. My kid brother used it for years. It only worked when I was absolutely desperate.

Hey, it's always worth asking. I know some people I would say yes to.

Ah, the free market at work...

Thats great, at least now you know that if necessary, you can pay someone to leave YOU alone... you'll just have to work out the terms...

Everyone has their price....busy D will just increase the annoying, or lower the price a bit, I'll bet, and a deal will be made.

Makes me wonder which child REALLY has the upper hand...
