Desserts

Livia’s daddy promised that she could have a cookie today. So, after she had eaten her dinner, including most of her salad (good girl!), I gave her the cookie for which she’d been waiting. She gobbled it right up. Then she asked me for dessert. When I explained that the cookie had been her dessert, she screamed, “No it wasn’t! I didn’t want cookie for dessert!” So I said, “OK, fine. You give me the cookie back, and I’ll give you dessert.” She broke into a smile. “But I can’t!” She was laughing, and I thought we were all set, but the next thing you know, she’s pitching a fit, because she still thinks she entitled to some kind of extra dessert. I finally had to send her to her room. I guess you could say that was her just deserts 😉
