LOL - One has to ((gets to?)) stay on ones toes, yes?
He may not be too young to introduce the idea of "No Lawyering." Whenever I "make a deal" with DS10, especially when he was 8 and 9, I introduce the phrase "no lawyering" to cover myself. It really helped. Now at 10, he doesn't even try anymore.
There is also the beloved "pinky promise" - which he introduced to me, and has been a very important parenting tool. When he hooks pinkies with me, I know that his honor is at stake, and that's a good thing.
Big Smile,
