Catching flies with honey

Hazel seems to be learning that polite requests are a more effective bedtime stalling tactic than screaming and crying. Friday night at bedtime:

"And, Dad, while you're here, may I have a sweater?" Aaron gives Hazel a sweater.

"And, Dad, while you're here, may I have Juniper's covers?" Aaron gives Hazel Juniper's covers.

"And, Dad, while you're here, there's a rhino in our room."

"There's no rhino. Rhinos don't like living in houses. They live in Africa."

"And they also live at LegoLand."

(A few months ago, Hazel was traumatized by a rhino she saw in a cartoon at LegoLand. She's been talking about it ever since.)
