Opposite Day

Brooke seems to always want the opposite of what I'm saying/asking. 

     Mom:  "Brooke, you need to put your coat on...you'll get cold"
     Brooke:  "I want to be cold."

     M:  "Don't eat that yet, it'll burn your tongue."
     B:  "I want to burn my tongue."

     M:  "Don't push Keira, she'll cry."
     B:  "I want Keira to cry."

It goes on and on, all day long.

Therefore, I need to start exercising "Opposite Day" and hopefully that will get her wanting the things I want her to do, without her realizing it.  Ah, sophisticated parental reverse psychology!
