Did you ever entertain one of your relative's 3 year old daughter's or any baby that you babysat and played a game like pickup stix or a card game? Was she happy? of course she was, because you were showing her attention, not necessarily because those are terrifically fun games, but because someone was showing her attention. What happened when you decided to stop and watch your football game on T.V.?...she got mad that you were ignoring her, didn't she? She probably then tried very hard to get your attention also. She probably then got so mad that, after the game, she gave you the cold shoulder and PLAYED HARD TO GET because SHE LIKED YOU SO MUCH. So, don't always (misunderstand) be turned off by everything they do.
