Lily wanted to play with her new doll, but she had to take a bath first. She did not like baths. They made her wet and cold. She tried to run away, but Mom caught her and put her in the tub. Lily was frustrated. She cried and splashed and made a mess.
Mom washed Lily's hair and body with soap and water. She said, "You have to be clean, Lily. It's good for you." Lily did not care. She wanted to get out. She tried to grab the towel, but it was too far. She stretched and reached, but she could not gain it. She was more frustrated. She screamed and kicked and made more mess.
Mom was not happy. She said, "Stop it, Lily. You are being naughty. You have to calm down." She took the towel and wrapped Lily in it. She lifted her out of the tub and dried her off. She said, "There, you are done. Now you can play with your doll." Lily was still frustrated. She did not want the towel. She wanted to be free. She wriggled and squirmed and made the towel fall.
Mom sighed. She said, "Lily, you are making this hard. You have to cooperate. You have to wear clothes." She picked up the towel and Lily and took them to the bedroom. She put Lily on the bed and tried to dress her. Lily did not want clothes. She wanted to play. She pushed and pulled and made the clothes fall.
Mom was tired. She said, "Lily, you are being silly. You have to listen. You have to be nice." She hugged Lily and kissed her. She said, "I love you, Lily. But you have to behave. You have to follow the rules." Lily looked at Mom. She saw that Mom was sad. She felt sorry. She said, "I love you, Mom. I'm sorry. I'll be good." She smiled and hugged Mom back. She said, "Can I play with my doll now?" Mom smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, you can. But first, let me put on your clothes." Lily agreed. She let Mom put on her clothes. She was not frustrated anymore. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." Mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best, too." They hugged and kissed again. Then they went to the living room, where Lily played with her doll and Mom watched her with love.
