A recipe for quiet

Do you remember that game that adults would suddenly spring on you to try and get you to be quiet? "Hey - lets see who can be quietest the longest!" Well today I succumbed and I used it on my nearly 3 year old in the car. She was on one of her "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" tirades where there is nothing she wants to tell me, but just keeps yelling/singing my title. So I said, "Hey! Let's play a game. You will win if you can be quiet longer than Mommy!"

and it worked. at least for 3 minutes, but those were a quiet and peacefull three minutes and I enjoyed every second.
