Disciplined on Carnival Day3

Shortly after lunch Tammy and Jenny asked if they could ride their bikes to the afternoon ‘matinee’ of the carnival, and after a bit of persuasion Mom agreed that they could go, but must return before 4:00. Naturally, I made plans to go as well and proceeded to wheedle my way into the trip. Tammy and Jenny objected immediately….”Mooom! Don’t make us take the baby! We can’t have any fun if Pam tags along, she’s just a kid! Pleeease make her stay here, Mooom, Please? She’s just little!!” I was furious and worked myself into a good snit. I fumed and fussed, but off on their bicycles went Tammy and Jenny, and I was left behind. Mom tried to patiently explain that I wasn’t quite old enough to ride my bike that far, and that I would still have a grand time with the rest of the family at the carnival that evening, but I was having none of it.
