What's it gonna take?

Well, its official: I think we've tried everything to get this kid out. Taking long walks. Nothing. Laughing the kid out by watching uproarious comedies. No dice. Eating spicy foods. Jumping on a trampoline. Bubkes.

We've also tried direct communication with the child. Asking politely. Reasoning. Singing (including the occasional falsetto number by yours truly). Begging. Threatening.

All that's left is bribery. So Rooney, we're asking: what's it gonna take?

Mike, good to see you know some parent-speak already, where did you learn that? How about this one: "let's go ask your mother." Or: "let's have a family meeting and we'll take a vote."
