Vignettes: Chapter 51
Dakota, I am giving you to the count of three to get into that bath tub before you are in big trouble! Tina shouted from the kitchen as she heard Dakota running down the hallway, her bear feet slapping the hard wood. Suddenly she heard silence. Tina walked into the bathroom, leaving the food she was preparing in the kitchen. The tub was still full of water, but it was empty other than that.
Thats it young lady! Im going back into the kitchen and if you arent in the tub by the time I come back in here, you are grounded! Tina left the bathroom and walked into the kitchen, opening the oven to check on the brownies. She pulled them out and left them on a cooling wrack. She topped the salad off with salmon and set it aside. Tina quietly moved back to the bathroom and still saw it empty. She walked back into the kitchen because she realized she forgot to turn the oven off.
Dakota! I want you in the kitchen in three seconds…. one…. two…. three!
Here I am mommy. Dakota peeked around the corner into the hallway, completely naked except for a towel wrapped around her shoulders like a cape. Her cheeks were flushed and her blonde hair was curled all around her face.
Why arent you in the bath tub? Tina demanded, hand on her hip.
I dont want a bath. Dakotas brown eyes sparkles like her mothers.
I didnt ask you if you wanted one. Its not a choice. You are taking a bath.
How about in five minutes? Dakota tried to bargain with her mom.
How about now? Both Tina and Dakota looked towards the door and saw Bette standing there. She had walked in when Dakota first entered the room.
Bette! Dakota squealed, jumping up and down. Mommy made brownies for tonight!
I dont eat brownies with little girls who dont take baths. Bette crossed her arms over her chest and didnt move. She wanted to run across the room and grab Dakota in her arms and hug her. But, she stood still trying to be firm.
Why not?

Always glad to read this. Time for Dakota to get used to the idea that the sleepovers are becoming permanent.
