Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

Luz and I had a couple fights over cupcakes today. First she wanted one at breakfast but I wouldn't give her one and she walked over to a drawer and pull out a weapon and came to hit me with it. She happened to grab a wisk but still.

The reason I wouldn't give her one is that I was taking her to daycare with a set of cupcakes for everybody - so she would have one an hour later.

Later in the day we came home (after she had had a cupcake at daycare) and she asked me for a cupcake again.

I said "You just had one at daycare"

She said "Umm, no I didn't."

"Yes you did, you just had one."

"No, I really didn't"

"So you mean that when you took all those cupcakes over there and all the other kids had one, you didn't?"

"Right. I didn't have one."

"You're lying, I know you had one"

"No I DIDN'T. I'm not LYING"

Then I said "Ok, you can have a cupcake if you say you didn't have one. But I'm also going to call Mrs. Bobbie and if she says you had one there, you can never have a pillow pet*, ever."

She thought about it and said "Ok. The truth is I had one at Mrs. Bobbies. I'm being honest."

* Pillow pets are a rather corny toy. The apparently run a lot of commercials. Luz wants one really really badly and talks about them to her mom a lot.
