CARMEN<br/><br/><strong>"Michael. Don't disagree with me. You know the rules, mealtimes are mealtimes. Except of course when Rachel has been bad."</strong>My voice was harsh and I raised the volume a notch.<strong>"The only reason you've stopped eating is because something's distracting you. Now finish your meal and you and Carly can go outside and have fun."</strong><br/><br/>I finished my own meal.<strong>"Honestly. Its the holidays. You've all week to do that, you're at it like rabbits every day anyway, give it a break for ten minutes will you?"</strong>
