Buy it a new Gelaskin matching your better clothes, then dress up and take it with you to the posh coffee lounge of the best hotel in town, sit down there displaying majesty to your best, and show it off until you harvest envious looks from the rest of the ladies.

I think this will suffice to restate an adjusted behavior in your EE. (I did this at home with my children, and it worked.)

[Edit: Sorry, Cheyenne. Later I read your posts in a different thread and I see you are in serious trouble. I meant to cheer you up, but I see your EE has more than a jealousy fit... Have my sympathy instead of my jokes.]
