When a toddler wants something, they can be single-minded and very persistent.

The lady in this story had a young cousin who wouldn’t stop asking for more juice, and she handled it brilliantly.

Let’s check out the details.

He didn’t come back for more “Jooce” : babysitting a thirsty toddler

I was babysitting my 4 year old cousin today while his mom was at work.

Being a very spoiled kid with a busy mom; She makes sure he has everything he wants so he can stay entertained while she rests and maintains their house.

Anyways flash forward to today.

Kids love their juice.

It was 8:15 and it was his 5th time asking me for Juice.

He had juicy juice boxes in his backpack and he had already ran through them.

I only had orange juice and he was eyeing it by running back and forth to the fridge and pointing At the “Jooce”.

I was trying to finish some homework and I was started to get annoyed.

He came in the Dining room where I was and our conversation went like this:

Cute kid!

K: Nay Nay can I get Jooce

me: You already had your Jooce K. You were supposed to save some for the rest of the day.

K: but you have Jooce

Me: i do have juice but you need to slow down before you have go to the pot pot

K: I can get it myself if you don want to

Me: and you can go sit down because I want you to

K: *looks at me and walks away for a while

He is a pretty behaved kid; so I turn back to my work. he goes back into the living room to watch tv.

I become focused in my work and then I hear the fridge open.

Kids will do anything to get what they want.

I turn around and this little boy had grabbed my juice out the fridge and tried to open it.

I grabbed it from him and he began to roll his eyes at me.

So I gave him exactly what he wanted.

I had a large polar pop cup (huge extra large cup).

Me: you want to drink some Jooce don’t you

K: yes

Me: alright I will let you have some but I need you go to the potty first

K: yes!

This works surprisingly often.

As he goes to the bathroom; I pour a small amount of juice mixed in with tons of water in the cup.

The cup is overflowing and I pass it too him.

I watch his little twinkling eyes cringe as he took a sip.

K: this not Jooce! Give me something else.

Me: yes it is and I am not giving you anything else.

He looks at me like I had three heads and runs off with the cup.

For the rest of the day I don’t hear another peep about Juice from him.

When his mom came she wanted to know how I got him to stop asking me.

I just smiled and said he had enough.

Kids can sure be persistent, but fortunately, it is easy to trick them.

This commenter has some good advice.

Good comment, plus all that juice could be making it worse.

This is a great way to get kids to enjoy healthier drinks.

It can be so fun to trick little kids.
