and they told me
"honey, in order to get her to speak,
you need to eat something
in front of her"
and i did.
it was the hardest thing i've ever
done in my life.

so i ate potato chips
oh and they also said
"you have to enjoy them"
and i did. and i enjoyed the chips
and i said "these are
good chips! yum."

and you were so mad
because i said "you're
not getting the chips until
you ask for them"
and you didn't want to
you could but you didn't
want to

and it took you hours
i mean it took the whole afternoon
i started eating in the morning
and you were so mad
so you went in your room
and threw a tantrum

but then you finally came out
and i said "do you want them"
and you grumbled
before saying
"chips"
and i said "oh you
want chips! yay!"
and i gave you the whole bag
you were three
and i gave you the whole
bag of chips
