Pease Beaks

WORD KEY
Pease = Please | Beaks = Grapes


The other night at dinner Charlotte, of course, wanted her beaks. Daddy got up, cleaned and brought them to the table. She was adamant that she get them and she get them now, now, now.

Daddy said, "Charlotte, say please."
"No," shaking her head.
Daddy said, "Charlotte, say please, please."
"No. No," still shaking her head.
Daddy said, "Charlotte, say please and you make have your grapes."
"No," still shaking her head, lip starting to curl.

This went on for a good 10 minutes and Charlotte would not give in. Charlotte didn't get any grapes.

The next morning Charlotte and I were in the car and on our way to Vesa's. Suddenly, Charlotte was 'practicing' in her mirror..."Pease, beaks." Over and over again.

That night she said, "Pease beaks?" Charlotte got her grapes.

End note — way to go Daddy for persevering! I was a wimp and wanted to leave the room.
