I'd like to share what just happened in my day. It's totally worth it.
WildChild goes to the drawer full of stuffed animals. She tries to open it all the way but for some reason it sticks. It opens, just not all the way. She whines. She pulls harder, nothing. She squeals. She puts her whole body into pulling, nada. She screeches. She throws so much BabyHulk leverage into it she slides, screeching, to the floor, where she lays wailing in dismay.
LilMellow, The Joker and I all watch this unfold silently and without interfering. Then LilMellow calmly walks over to the partially open drawer, reaches over the wailing WildChild and into the drawer, pulling out an owl puppet.
"OH! HOOOO!" She exclaims in delight and walks away.
WildChild immediately quiets, stands up, reaches into the drawer, pulls out the desired cow.
"OH! MOOOOO!" She exclaims in delight and walks away.
The moral: stop making shit harder for yourself than it has to be.
