Manipulation

Oliver's now insisting on being allowed to 'listen to one music' after breakfast as well as after dinner.

The other morning, I came back inside after starting the car to find that Mimi had brought Oliver downstairs to get ready to go out (a bit of a struggle, some days) and that Vince Guaraldi and Bola Sete's From All Sides was playing on the stereo.

Mimi: I bribed him.
Me: With ... jazz?

I guess there are worse ways of making him compliant.
