	I freely confess to shamelessly collaborating with
my mother to effect positive behavioral changes in my children ;-)
Things they blow off from me start to resonate when Grandma
says something or when special events with Grandma are
contingent upon, say, good table manners.  And when we need
the *really* big guns, all it takes is a hint from Grandpa
and things turn around on a dime!
