. . . making a complete spectacle of yourself at the dinner table will. Enthusiastically singing that last round (complete with hand motions), with one little lima bean left, is so satisfying. Tricking the toddler into eating foods she normally loves, but is refusing out of pure stubbornness, has never been so fun.
Thank God our video camera always has a dead battery.
