She looked at it skeptically, and then clobbered it out of my hand.
So I switched to Plan B.
She saw me take it out, and smiled wide.
I pushed it toward her again. This time, she reluctantly ate the veggies.
“Bribery works every time,” I sighed, looking at the chocolate bar in my hand.
This fiction post has been inspired by three words given at Three Word Wednesday #391. The three words at 3WW are Skeptical, Clobber and Bribery.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
He he. That is me trying to get S to eat 🙂
Not exactly, Jb. The girl stayed in one place. 😛
That was too good. Btw if its Dairymilk,then we cant blame her too….!
She’s more of a Gems fan, but it was Dairy Milk in this instance, Paru 😀 and yes, can’t blame her 😛

Depends on the kid 😀 Luckily, she’s not demanding a chocolate every time though, Cosmo 🙂

She is quite adorable, Thorne 🙂
Chocolate vegetables…i think we could become very rich if we invented them 😉
Absolutely, Jae 😀
I fear if it becomes a habit for everything
I do fear that, but then, kids do absorb if you tell them no. Once in a while, maybe even we want to do it 🙂 Thanks, Cifar.
My mummy had another approach – “threatening” 😛
Wonder if it worked 😛 Should ask her, Bhavs 😀
