“Tayla it is dinner time” said mum
“Ooh vegetables” mum cried “Tayla”
“What? Mum I am not going to eat my vegetables”
“Yes you will, because I have got a surprise after school for you Tayla”
“I don't care ok mum”
“Well that's not like you Tayla.”
“But do you really, really, really want the surprise Tayla?” said mum
“I won't like it anyway”
“Don't say that word”
“It would have been a horse or dog. But if you don't want it I will give it to someone else, like Crystal”
“What, a horse or a dog. I'll eat all of my vegetables mum”
“Good, good, good girl Tayla.”
