Mother to daughter conversation.
Daughter: "Mommy can we go get a treat?"
Mom: "No hunny we have to go pick up daddy from work and then have dinner."
Daughter:"What if we get a treat and then go pick up daddy.
Mom: "We'll go another day sweetheart."
Daughter: "No but I really want to go now"
Mom: another day I said okay."
Daughter: No write now!!
Mom: If you stop kicking up a fuss we'll go.
While I was on my way home from school today I heard a little girl asking her mother if she can go get a treat from the store. The little girl had seen an older man walk by with a chocolate bar, so now she wanted a treat.
While listening to this conversation I was thinking to myself that it was not very good for a mother or any parent in that matter to give in so easily to the child's needs. She should have kept to her word and got her a treat another day. Bribery is not something she should have done because that teaches the child wrong habits. I guess from the mothers perspective she just didn't want a big reaction from her so she just gave in. More and more parents use bribery as a way to get there child to do things and I think that that it is wong and they need to find a different solution.

Two Girls on the bus
Girl 1: "Oh my gosh, so the other day I was at the dominion and I took so long because the lady infront of me was complaining that an item was on sale for 99cents when regularly its like $1 more, and I was getting so pissed."
Girl 2: "No way! HAHA."
Girl 1: "yea... I kno."
Today on the bus Iwas talking on the phone but as a hung up I heard these two girls talking very ditzy like. But this converstaion that I was listening to actually reminded me one time about when I had to wait in a line up for soo long because someone wanted to find out the sale price of that item. I could relate because when your in a hurry it just fustrates you when you only have one item and you know you'll be soo fast, but yet the people infront of you are holding up the whole line up. It drives me nuts! I actually just wanted to go up to the girls and tell them I know!

The daughter in conversation 1 really needs some discipline. I mean how can the mom just just ok we will go if you stop making a fuss. I mean no is no. I can undertand that the mom wants her to stop but come on teach your child that once you say no it means no!
Two Girls On The Bus: I can totally relate here, and that's why I tend to avoid long lines in general (unless I can't help it). Its also why I get so anxious about paying for something cause I'm afraid of holding a line up, haha.
Erm... this is last week's assignment...
