My mom promised the girls if they were good, she would buy them McDonald's.
They were good so we went to McDonald's.
As we are pulling in the parking lot, Laney insists on french fries. We offered ice cream and she refused. She wanted french fries.
We order french fries for the girls and ice cream cones for us.
We start to drive home. We enjoy our ice cream. Allie enjoys her fries. Laney just sits.
I tell the girls they need to thank grandma for their fries. Allie does. Laney sits in silence.
I threaten Laney that if she doesn't say thanks, I am going to take her fries. She continues to sit in silence.
I take her fries.
Finally, at a stop light, I turn to talk to Laney about her behavior. And she mutters out, "I want an ice cream."
We have a little chit chat about what happened.
I stop at another McDonald's and buy her an ice cream.
We take it home and she enjoys it.
I think she really didn't understand that we could order ice cream in a cone at McDonald's. She obviously has been sheltered.
