Young Tyler Pickens, barely one year old, is now teaching other children in the art of grandparent manipulation. Widely acknowledged among his grandparents as being possibly the brightest child ever brought into the world, Tyler has begun to hold impromptu seminars at his local mother's day out program on the finer points of getting adults to fetch, beg, and roll over on command. He can point to his early successes; rarely in his brief life has he ever had to wait more than 3 seconds before an adult has completely thrown his agenda out of the window just so he can make Tyler happy. Tyler espouses aversion therapy, but urges his students not to underestimate the power of a well-timed smile or giggle. "You can get 'em to do anything when you flash that smile while the tears of the recent tantrum are still on your cheeks" Tyler promises his students. Tyler acknowledges that growing up poses new challenges. He is now exploring the opportunities that await in the new field of walking. "I'm trying to determine how to maximize the advantages of walking while dealing with the real possibility that I will be picked up less" he says. This author is certain that he will figure it out very soon.
