1. Fake an injury. She will forget about that snack she has been begging for (after refusing breakfast!) and become concerned over your "owie".
2. Imitate him. He will be shocked by your atrocious behavior and hopefully move on to another subject.
3. Keep agreeing with her, but don't follow through with your agreement. The clash of your actions versus your words will mystify her little mind, and before you know it: what Dora show?
4. Offer an off-limits item as a truce. "I will let you play with Daddy's wallet if you stop bothering me..."
5. Hide in the bathroom until the argument blows over. Mommy just needs a little privacy, okay honey?
6. Threaten a nap if that isn't already the subject of your fight with him. Hey, us parents only have a few aces in the hole. Sometimes we have to use them.
7. Run in the other direction. No matter how out of shape you are, her little legs are no match for yours.
8. Pretend to be asleep. Can you believe kids actually fall for that stunt?
9. Offer Mountain Dew, Red Bull, Shocktarts, Betty Crocker's double fudge chocolate cake, Double Bubble, Snickers...whatever throws him off the scent of that new Elmo he's begging you to purchase.
10. Give in to her demands. Is this really worth you missing your show?
