Here's how Gabe gets what he wants... maybe

Gabe has this wonderful technique called - "Immediately turn on the water works if the answer is no". It is not always effective - in fact more often than not, it just gets him a trip to time out. But, I admit that I have been known to use the same technique, although I use the power of persuasion and hint technique more often - it is a little bit more subtle. I am sure that at some point both boys will master this as well.
