here is what you do if you are "Playing The Boob" with your child:

be incompetent

be clumsy

be blind

be weak

be easily hurt

be a baby

be wrong

be easily outwitted

be arrogantly incorrect

be a pushover

be absurd

be forgetful

example of being absurd: "say in a goofy voice, "Please eat your shoe!! Please - PLEASE!! I command you to eat it!! Okay, you win, but it's not FAIR!! You always win. I NEVER get to win!!!! (I wouldn't use this approach if you have a soft-hearted child, but if you have a competitive little Stone Ager, you'll get a grin a mile long!"

"Playing The Boob is exactly like wrestling and letting your child win or playing hide-and-seek and pretending you can't find her. It's merely a form of flattery - one of the most basic and ancient tools of diplomacy!"
