- Subject: new twist to rubber band
- Lines: 20
-
- from Ed Ford (930128:1100)
-
- I'd like to add a feature to my rubber band post of (930127.1018).
- You can show others what it is like to try and control another's
- actions. I had my wife, Hester, hold the two knotted rubber bands
- and my son, Joseph, point his finger and Hester tried to follow his
- pointed finger (as he moved it about) with the knot. I then gently
- said "I'll help and took her arm to help her achieve her goal".
- Anyone want to guess the response? "Hey, I can do this myself" was
- what she said. Her attention immediately went from her chosen goal
- of trying to follow the pointed finger of Joseph with the knot to
- getting me off her back. May I suggest when you try this to using
- someone with whom you have already established a close and warm
- relationship. I don't want to be sued. And, Bill, you can't get
- that out of a $2,000 computer.
-
- What do you think?
