Vegetable Shot

Adalyn and Jeff have been having enormous power struggles at the dinner table. He wants her eating her veggies and she has decided that she will not. And as all of yall know when Adalyn takes on a cause there is no changing her mind. The other night I had enough of hearing them arguing with each other over eating the veggies. She likes them but refuses to eat them just to prove her point. She is so stubborn, she will go to bed hungry just to prove she has some control.
Not thinking, I blurted out, "Adalyn if you don't eat your veggies Dr. Burks will have to give you a veggie shot." She stopped screaming and started eating. Oops. Didn't mean to lie. So Jeff wanted to know what am I going to do if she ends having to get a shot at her check-up. That's easy...she didn't eat enough veggies. I know..terrible for lying but sometimes a little bit of manipulation is ok, right? Especially to preserve the peace. Sorry baby.
