POUTING IS NOT PLEASANT
08 - Pouting is not Pleasant
anisha comes to remind Asha about baseball practice. But Asha is too busy pouting and has no time for baseball or anything - she is hoping
to manipulate her mother with her pouting. She did not realise that instead of spending her energy in manipulation, she could have spent that time in baseball and would had a much better time.
Manisha:
Hey Asha, it's time for baseball practice. Let's go, or we'll be late.
Asha:
(Sitting with her hands under her chin) I'm too busy for baseball today.
Manisha:
You don't look busy to me.
Asha:
Tam busy. Can't you see, I'm pouting?
Manisha:
Pouting is for babies. Come on, let's get going.
Asha:
No, I'm not going to practice today. I'm mad at my mom. She wouldn't give me any candy. She's so mean. So I'm just going to sit here and pout until she realizes how wrong she is.
