13. When mom is finished scolding you, you can start singing a song, for example: "mom is a 小面瓜 （noodle melon?, little melon face?)

14. When mom scolds you, you can crawl on the ground (something something)and keep saying "cannot hear, cannot hear“.

第3招
你老妈使劲骂你的时候，你可以：装哭（使点劲儿哦！）性质：软。注：一定要装得像（可以经常使 用）。

When your mom scolds you with all her strength, you can pretend to cry (use a little enthusiaism).

Must look like your really crying.

Can use often.


第4招
你老妈使劲骂你的时候，你还可以：趴在你妈身上哭。性质：软+软。注：可以经常使用。

When your mom scolds you with all her strength, you can also grab onto your mom and cry.

Can use often.

Notes; one mistake among many: It is not "difficulty: hard or easy". I gather it is a characteristic or strategy; whether to be flexible or resolute. I think they mean what side of their mothers they are appealing towards. Like trying to soften the mom up or taking a hardliner approach.

Whatever the case, Beijing ten year olds are sophisticated strategists.
