The best way out, Cialdini advises, is to fight reciprocity with reciprocity.

How much they'd like to whack me flat,
With a newspaper or even a baseball bat.
Splat! — David B. Lentz

Something had happened to him ove the past couple of years, something to do with being home with Aaron, sinking into the rhythm of a kid's day. The little tasks, the small pleasures.
