Conversation #9

From time to time, I need to bribe my daughter to finished her lunch/dinner or to take a nap.

Yesterday, I needed a nap myself so I bribe my daughter to sleep with me and when we wake up, I'll give her a treat. She of course wants the treat. So we slept. And the treat was all forgotten until dinner time... and since I notice that she wasn't eating, I told her that I'd double the treat if she finishes her food.

Then she came up to me and whisper:

PATRICIA: Mommy, can I have 4 treats?
ME: Why 4?
PATRICIA: So I can give 2 to ahiya [referring to her big brother]

After her dinner, I gave her 4 and she happily gave 2 to her ahiya.

I hope and pray that my daughter will remain as sweet, as loving and as thoughtful as she is now.
