Since this morning Anne had had headache by Christian's refusal to play quietly. The child was very active, running around in the house so that the condition of the house currently was so messy. Christian sulked, annoyed at not being allowed to play in the rain outside. Linda and Paul had even given various reasons to calm down the child, but the boy still didn't want to sit quietly.
"Baby, come here. Mommy has something for you," said Anne quietly, for the umpteenth time trying to seduce Christian.
Christian turned to his mother. "No, I don't want to eat."
Anne chuckled. "Mommy didn't invite you to eat, I only asked you to accompany me to eat. Mommy hasn't eaten since last night and now Mommy is very hungry."
"Why haven't you eaten yet?"
Yes, Anne's method worked. Her son managed to focus his attention on her.
