The Power of Persuasion

It is school carnival time, and my kids are selling tickets.  I asked who was going to do the talking and not surprisingly Miss E said she was.  So I had her role play with me what she was going to say and do.  Mr J stood wide eyed watching since this is his first year to sell them.  I deemed they were ready to descend upon our neighbors, and they headed out the door.  The first house they sold one, the next  2, then the 3rd Miss E turns to Mr J and says "Here," and gives him all the stuff, "your turn."  She still went with him to the door, but just made him do all the talking.  They sold 5 there.  As they were leaving that house Miss E turns to Mr J and says, "Here you just do all the rest.  You are smaller and cuter."
