If your children are on a mission for a new pet, you might want to shield them from this story. Kids often display remarkable determination when it comes to achieving their desires, sometimes employing clever tactics that are hard to resist.
Take a look at what one 13-year-old, named Emily, did to persuade her dad to let her adopt a cat. A Twitter user, Sarah Johnson, shared a series of images of Emily’s ingenious “Wall of Guilt,” where she plastered a wall with pictures of forlorn, unadopted cats along with note cards containing guilt-inducing phrases about the plight of shelter animals.
“My sister created a ‘wall of guilt’ to make our dad feel bad about not getting her a cat,” Johnson tweeted, along with photos that quickly gained popularity. And honestly, who could blame them? The strategy was pure genius.
The note cards featured heart-wrenching messages like, “You’re letting innocent lives perish,” and “Please, you’re allowing cats to live alone without love.” Some cards simply said “Please,” while others had sad faces drawn on them. One particularly dramatic card was filled with the word “please” repeated over and over again.
However, the crown jewel of this campaign was a collection of photos showing sorrowful shelter cats, including one cat that appeared to be crying. An arrow pointed to its tears with the caption, “This is because of you.” Talk about an emotional appeal!
In a surprising twist, the girl’s tactics actually succeeded. Johnson concluded her tweet with, “Well, it worked,” and included a picture of their dad looking less than thrilled, with a new feline friend perched contentedly on his lap.
Twitter erupted with admiration for Emily’s bold approach to securing her desired pet. This method has us taking notes for future reference, perhaps even considering if it could be effective on husbands too.
