Tormenting Or Reverse Psychology?

Last night Fiona and I decided to have a little bit of fun with our kids. Towards the end of most evenings leading to bedtime, Jadon will ask if it is bath time. All the kids are into routine, so they must have their baths, lotioned up, read some books (girls must have their pacifiers in hand or mouth), sing a song, and pray. Most times we'll just tease the kids and tell them "no bath, just bed" (or vice versa). The kids get into a tizzy and saying that they want "bath and bed!" Well tonight we took our tease on a little longer. We were heading home from dinner and we were saying "ok everybody just bed, no bath." That instantly created an uproar. Of course we were kidding and the kids were laughing and screaming. Jadon kept saying "No!!! I want bath and bed ok?" And I would respond "No just bed no bath, I'm too tired." And the girls would interject as well "Nooooo I want bath!" It's so hilarious to hear them beg. When we got home, the joke kept going. This time Jadon started to weep because he thought we were serious (boy aren't we mean?). Then Natalie saw the seriousness of Jadon's crying and she began to cry (aren't we really mean?). Vanessa, on the other hand, was just laughing her little head off. She knew all along that we were just kidding. We probably shouldn't keep teasing them like that, despite the humorous entertainment factor, but it's nice to know that they love their baths and their routines.
