I will join you in your meanness.

Yesterday, at the mall my nieces wanted a balloon animal. I told them as long as they behaved they would get one.

They were both well rested, we ate, and then went into a store. Holy cow, forget it. I even did three strikes your out and it didn't work.

The one who behaved got a balloon animal, the one who did not unfortunately didn't receive one. I felt evil, but I knew if I didn't stick to what I said it would lead them to believe I'm bluffing.
