Open Sesame

The magic only works if you really believe.

If Sammy doesn't want to eat and he doesn't want to open his mouth to accept food, how can you make him open his mouth?

Ask Pia to say 'Open Sesame'.  Like magic, Sammy will obediently open his mouth. 

It doesn't work if Daddy says it.  It sometimes works if Mommy says it. But Pia has a 100% batting average. 

She doesn't even have to shout the words out.  Even if she's across the room and barely audible, just uttering  those magic words is enough to make Sammy contentedly open his mouth and accept the spoon.
