Kenzie: avoiding eating vegetables mom you can't make me eat vegetables.
I look at her and sigh heavily. Yes I can. You're going to sit down and finish that plate right now. Do you understand?
pouting but whyyyy, they're gross. They don't taste good at all.
moving the veggies around the plate, still trying to avoid eating them
I was her mother, who had gotten back from work. "Why not?"
pouting Because they're yucky!
smiles warmly why don’t you want to eat them sweetie?
I’m not your mom I’m your friend. And yes I can
pouting but I don't want to eat them! They're gross!
What’s wrong, sweetie? Don’t you like veggies?
making a face They're gross.
pouting nooo...mom! Why do I have to eat them? They're gross!
Why not? They're good for you!
giggles Because they're gross and I don't like them.
crosses her arms and pouts
I was in the kitchen when I heard her. Hey sweetie! What do you want for dinner?
"Can I have pizza?" she asks excitedly, still avoiding eating her vegetables
I’m her mom and I look at her. Actually, yes I can. holds up a spoonful of veggies
Kenzie pouts and squirms on the chair noooo! not those yucky things! why do I have to eat them? they're gross!
chuckles softly I'm not your mom sweetie..
looks up in surprise and then blushes oh, my bad, I thought you were my mom. Who are you then?
I'm Harmony, Kenzie's older sister who is usually busy so I don't get involved with what she does.
Kenzie notices you walking into the room
Oh! Harmony! You're finally here! Can you talk to mom? She's trying to make me eat my veggies
I'm FireworkHarmony, Kenzie's mother. I sigh heavily. If you don't eat them, then no ice cream later.
Kenzie's face contorts into a pout, knowing that she's been caught
But whyyyy?! Ice cream is the best thing ever! It's not fair that I have to eat yucky veggies first!
I’d sigh before I put down my phone. “Kenzie, you know that you need to eat healthy.”
pouting But whyyyy? They're gross! I don't wanna eat them!
I lean closer towards her Oh yes I can.
she pouts and crosses her arms
No, you can't. I don't want to eat vegetables. They're gross!
