Ok, so last night I made a wonderful dinner salad for the family.  Everyone was eating happily until the little one discovered that two very small grape tomatoes had made it on to her plate.  This causes the biggest fit in the history of fits.  Her father tries to reason with her, but she just makes it worse for herself by threatening to make herself throw up.  Keep in the mind, the child is 6.  She has to be a drama queen about everything.  She keeps up the fit getting worse and worse, and even turning down time in the corner instead of eating the tomatoes.  Her poor dad finally had it, he stood her up, gave her three swats on the rump, then a hug, a kiss, and she finally ate the God forsaken tomatoes.  

 

Then, get this, later that night after all the drama and tears and the 3 swats, she decides that she would like to "make a deal" to get dessert because she didn't get any after the way she acted, and VOLUNTEERS to eat 4 tomatoes to get her dessert!!!!  This time she eats them, no fuss no problems.....go figure....kids!!!
