Heh, works every time! Does a nifty job of 'breaking the pattern' so that you can get the kid's attention, get right down to eye level and 'explain the situation'. ;o)
Bass Pro Shop just opened up...couple of weeks ago or so. Steve and I went last weekend and the Tracker Boat salesman commented about how well the jedis behaved.
Apparently, sales are made right there at the boat display...there's a desk and everything. The salesman told Steve that just the day before he was in the middle of a sale with a couple who got fed up and left because of the ruckus kids were making on the boats.
Apparently they use them like a playground.
Can you imagine the commission that man lost??
