The little 3 year old we have is very strong willed.
But she loves cardboard boxes.
Anytime I get parts in from Summit etc, she has to have the box to play with.
One time recently I ordered 100 paint sticks from amazon. She wanted the box bad, almost throwing a tantrum, being a real B***h, I said fine, opened the box, pulled out a paint stick, and said this was a box full of whooping sticks.
She is scared of a paint stick to this day.
