- We can show you how you mom tamed hers if you want, said grandpa.
- Yes, show me, said Linda. I want to see.
- All right we can show you, said grandpa. He turned to mother and said, shall we show Linda how we did?
- I would like to show her, but I don't remember what we did, said mother.
- Don't worry about that. I will tell you what to do. You will remember, said grandpa. Then he gave mother the following instructions:
- Ask me to give you this spade. I will refuse to give it to you. You will not take no for an answer and you will continue to ask for it.. I will still not give the spade to you. You will become so angry that the tiger inside you wakes up and also becomes angry. Right when you are in the middle of your terrible tiger tantrum, I will say the magic word 'freeze'. When you hear that word 'freeze' you will immediately stop the tantrum and act as if nothing had happened. Do you understand the instructions? Asked grandpa.
- Yes I do, said mom.
