The Breadstick


     Dustin reheated some Olive Garden for lunch one day and we had left over breadsticks.  Baylee wanted one and so Dustin kindly gave her one.  There was one stipulation, however, that we can no longer remember right now.  She wasn't allowed to eat it until she said sorry or please or ate a few bites of something else, not sure, but she wasn't allowed to eat it just yet.  That sweet little girl held that breadstick and just cried because she knew she wasn't allowed to eat it.  She was obedient though!  She never once tried to eat it, just held tightly to it while she screamed and wailed.  There were real tears coming out.  Eventually she did whatever it was she was supposed to do and she happily ate her breadstick.
