I don't mess with my daughter all that much. Every now and then I get a cantakerous streak and get smart with her. She usually picks up on it pretty quick. I have messed with other peoples kids too. Like when I was teaching. I had 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. They were starting the "Do you like me, if so check..." stuff and also the teasing was unstoppable. One girl, S was a particular target for the teasing because she always reacted pretty loudly. One time she came to me when M was teasing her and wouldn't quit. It was good natured teasing but it was disruptive. I'd already asked him to stop once that day. So I spoke to S in a voice just loud enough for the whole class to hear. "Well you know usually when boy is teasing you like that, it's because he likes you." I got a giggle out of the class and his buddy poked him in the side. He got such a grin, turned beat red, and hid his head. No more trouble at all that day. Even he laughed about it but he never teased again that day.
