Ok - I am thinking that I need to try a different motivational approach with Patrick. Something with an incentive, maybe? 
I hope you mean something like beer or lunch.

I'm just afraid she means a physical threat, such as the promise of broken bones. What were you thinking, anyway?

I'm thinking bodily injury threats do not work with Patrick. I think he needs the positive reinforcement approach.

As a famous character acter, Strother Martin, once said in a movie, I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

I could not tell you what movie it was from, but Strother Martin and Dub Taylor were my all time favorite character actors.
