Analysis of Dinner Time
Oh my mother is not nice.
My mother will give me no cake.
Mother said not even one slice.
You must eat up all of your vegatables.
I do not want to eat them.
They do not have the same taste.
What I want is Ice cream.
I also, very much, want cake.
Father will you realize?
Mother has made a mistake?
Father do you care for me?
Will you please give me some cake?
Father looked pleadingly to Mother.
Mother firmly shook her head no.
Into my mouth a the vegetables did go.
I chewed them with my teeth,
I have mean people parents.
I even have to eat my beets.
