I was at Coles and there's a little boy about 3 years old complaining that it's cold to his mother. In all fairness she was dilly-dallying in the cheese aisle. She replied with "I asked you if you wanted your jumper and you said no". Rookie mistake mum. You don't ask the child. You pop it in your bag anyway and produce it on the inevitable request.

Anyway my tip is to make them work while in there "Grab that 2 litre milk there and put in your basket please" then they don't have time to whinge. Win win.
