Katie: Anna-Kat stop being so cranky pants. Just do the chores or we’re not going this weekend. Do your chores.

Anna-Kat: I don’t want to. (Throws a spoon at Katie)

Katie: hey no throwing spoons at me. If you keep this up, you’re not getting pickles back.

Anna-Kat: but I love her she’s my favorite stuffed animal.

Anna-Kat: UGH!

Katie: well ugh is not gonna make you wanna earn pickles back.

Anna-Kat: (throws a fit)

Katie: throwing a fit is not gonna help to make you wanna earn pickles back.

Anna-Kat: but what am I gonna do to make myself want pickles back?

Katie: well let’s talk. So maybe you should be very nice to everyone especially me. If you wanna earn then you have to respect me and listen to me and do as I say. OK?

Anna-Kat: but what about pickles? (Voice breaking) I don’t want you to throw away pickles. (Starts crying)

Katie: I won’t throw away pickles. You’re just gonna earn for her so if you wanna earn pickles back, then do your chores.

Anna-Kat: (rudely) fine.

Katie: don’t say fine to me like that. Say it nicer.

Anna-Kat: (nicely) fine. (Continues crying)

Katie: (sighs) come here. I know it’s a little hard to earn pickles back. Come here. (Both hug and Katie rubs Anna-Kat’s back during the hug while Anna-Kat is still crying) I’ll know what we can do. So today is Monday. So for this week only, I’ll go to Walmart, we’ll get a piece of paper and a clipboard and we’ll do reward systems. Do you want that so you can earn pickles back?

Anna-Kat: yeah. (Sniffles)
