Here's a way to get back at your kid for all the times they've spit up on you and soiled their diapers at three in the morning.

You need to get them at the point in their young lives where they are just understanding the concept of numbers and counting, as well as having them have a developed sense of body parts, specifically fingers.What you do is this: Ask them if they realize that they have 5 fingers on one hand and 6 fingers on the other. When they look at you funny, show them in the following way---count from 1 to 5 on one hand, then count from 10 down to 6 on the other, ending on 6 with the last finger (or thumb) on the second hand. They will remember the 6 when you have them do it or they count on their own. You will know you have them thinking when they look at their own hands and begin to count fingers over and over. Bonus points if you make them cry or this keeps them busy for a couple of hours. Run like hell if they try and show another parent.
