My mother attended college during the day while my sister was in school and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I   16  a tired mother attempt to   17  her daughter. The mother refused her little girl’s request to go to McDonalds for dinner and the daughter immediately  18 over the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonalds. “  19 her mother tried to stop her crying. Finally her mother gave in, the girl stopped crying and they left. To say I was amazed would be   20  ,I was delighted that 21  I wanted could be got in the same way.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare  22  we were collecting our - Christmas shopping. As we walked through the toy section, I saw a  23  I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells  24  as it was pulled along on a string.
25  lovingly at my mother, I asked, “Mama,   26  I have that telephone?” She replied, “Not now, but if you are a good girl maybe Santa will bring it to you. “ As I insisted, her eyes narrowed and her hand 27  on mine.
By now we were standing in the long line, and I figured it was  28 . I lay down on the ground and began screaming. “I want that telephone. “ Tired Christmas shoppers looked as my mother   29 said, “Becky, you ‘d better get up by the count of three  30  …”
Nothing happened. So then she lay   31  me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car, I want a new house, I want some jewelry, I want…”   32  , I stood up.
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I   33  said.
She stood, and   34  herself off. At first astonished, the others waiting in line began to clap. And as they were leaving, they said with a smile, “Your mom got your good. I bet you’ll never try that again. “
And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any  55  mark.
