Homeschooling Lesson #40: Reverse Psychology

According to Wikipedia, reverse psychology is:
a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired.
OK then.  For the past 2+ years, the A-team has belly-ached about the need for separate bedrooms.  As of January 1, 2020, wish granted.

As of Day 4 of the stay at home requirement, all three kids were asking to share the same bedroom.  Too tired to argue, MLD set up the camping cots:


Question:  after spending entire days... weeks together, arguing about senseless things, wouldn't you think these kids would retreat to their separate rooms, glad to be apart from one another?

Um, no.

Reverse psychology in action.  We're thinking of having them all share one bedroom and reclaiming the other two ;)
