We have moved on to "use Claude Sonnet 4.5 as a D&D dungeon master and Croissanthology dot com as a narrator and let him blow stuff up at the delight of the princess he's supposed to be rescuing and also every character uses swear words because he finds those incredibly funny"

(I do this because he was uncomfortable watching a movie with "princess" in the name and also during the movie kept pretending he was going to die, whenever things got even vaguely kissey.)

I'm gaining theory of mind for category 10yo boys, my memory ain't what it used to be

Now I'm showing him a compilation of princess bride romantic scenes from YouTube at his request for "more TV, usually with babysitters they let me watch TV all night" (someone's read their Cialdini c.f. grack) and he's pretending to hate it, telling me he's going to have a seizure but he's WATCHING

THE KID HAS ACCEPTED THE PRINCESS BRIDE he immediately guessed the movie when I told him we were going to watch a movie "I wouldn't tell him the name of or he wouldn't want to watch it", and then he sheepishly said "FINE I'll watch it with you" so that's one human mogged for today

I don't remember reading that bisk [name] just QTed right there either, but that's OK because I'm giggling aloud just admiring the pacing of it (thanks, past self) and the golden retriever is looking at me like I'm an idiot when I have two OOMs more neurons than him, get mogged moron

The kid just convinced his parents to let him watch some dumb youtube video and the instant they leave the house he turns to me and says, grinning smugly, "it's called persuasion, [name], it's called persuasion" and then he started breaking down how "puppy eyes" work

Which of course is hilarious because that story already has this dynamic (little boy says ew to concept of princess) "priced in"
