When it comes to getting what they desire, children often exhibit remarkable determination and creativity. Take, for example, a 13-year-old named Mia, whose ingenious approach to convincing her dad to adopt a cat is nothing short of masterful.
Mia’s sister, Jenna, took to Twitter to share a series of images showcasing Mia’s “Wall of Sorrow.” This innovative strategy involved covering a wall with heart-wrenching pictures of forlorn, unadopted cats alongside note cards filled with guilt-inducing statements, aimed squarely at their father. “My sister created a ‘wall of sorrow’ to make our dad feel guilty enough to let her get a cat,” Jenna tweeted, and the post soon gained significant attention online.
The notes on the wall were particularly poignant, containing phrases such as, “You’re killing innocent lives,” and “Please, you’re letting cats die alone and never feel loved.” Some notes simply read “Please,” adorned with sad faces, while others were repetitively inscribed with the word “please,” emphasizing her desperate plea.
However, the pièce de résistance was a collection of sorrowful cat photos, including one of a cat with actual tears, complete with an arrow pointing to its face stating, “This is because of you.” It was a clever yet ruthless tactic for someone so young.
In a delightful twist, Mia’s efforts proved successful. Jenna shared an image of their slightly reluctant father, now with a new feline companion lounging comfortably in his lap, and noted, “Well, it worked.”
This inventive method of persuasion captivated Twitter users who appreciated Mia’s relentless pursuit of her dream pet. It’s a strategy that many might consider utilizing for their own desires, whether it be for a pet or something else entirely. We can’t help but wonder: does the “Wall of Sorrow” work just as effectively on husbands?
