Speaking her mind
We were eating some leftovers the other night for dinner. Mckayla told me she wanted some vegetables, so I offered some romaine lettuce. She took a few bites and said, “KK does not like vegetables”. Then, I asked her what she wants to eat. She said noodles. So I gave her some noodle. She took [...]
