You can’t tell a kid to stay away from their mom for a few minutes while you point a scary box at said mom.
Scary box being a camera.
Kid wants their mom, kid gets their mom, that’s how it goes.
O’ Bedlam trick of the trade #444: Kid gets a twizzler, kid forgets about mom for a second. So bring twizzlers.
Do not be upset because kid is taking your oh-so-precious twizzlers. The twizzlers are now serving a greater good, namely distracting kid.
And now, hopefully, you have created a new life-long fan of twizzlers, and so have appeased the great Twizzler Gods.
Here endeth the lesson.
