You gotta speak up for yourself!





Jada: Just TRY it.

Lia: Ok....next time I have an opportunity, I will.

Zoe: Not so fast, oh-agreeable-one!

Lia: What?

Jada: Ya, what?

Zoe: Remember the last time you were in the yard barking incesstantly and Mom yelled at you?

Lia: Ya, but that big bird needed to be told off!

Jada: What big bird?

Lia: It was a kite!

Jada: All I'm saying is, be assertive like me. If I'm napping on Aunt Kandiss' bed and my Mom says we have to go, I protest: "Woo Woo!!!" If I'm in the yard playing with you guys and they tell us to come in and we don't want to....Protest! : ..."Woo Woo Woo!!!" I'm just saying you two have to start speaking up for yourselves.

Lia: I'm game....I'm gonna try it again.

Zoe: Your both stupid - if you just shut up and follow her commands, she gives kisses and cookies and walks.

Lia: Hmmm....I do like those....ALOT.....

Jada: Me too.....maybe we should just pretend....we'll feel assertive but in the end, she wins.

Lia: Tee hee....I like that game.

Zoe: (.....atta girls.............sigh........)
