“You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”, my mother used to say.
Grumble, grumble. I wanted to do it the easy way (by force)—not the right way (by persuasion)!
You can chase the animals all over the field trying to catch them, but rattle the feed bowl and they’ll come runnin’! I often think of this when trying to get a child to do a chore, to do their math, or complete some other less desirable task. How do I lace this job with honey? How do I get them to “come running”? That takes some creative thinking on mom’s part to keep homelife happy and pleasant.
