Carrots
Aunt Carrie was known to hate carrots. Alot. She would sit there, push them around her plate and pretty much try every way she could think of th leave the table. Grandma always told her that she couldn't leave the table and play outside until the carrots were gone, but that didn't seem to make things easier for Aunt Carrie. One day, she had had enough. Being the last one sitting at the table, it was quite dramatic when Aunt Carrie put all her carrots on her fork and said, "Goodbye outside, hello bedroom." And she flung the carrots off her fork directly at grandma. Needless to say, Aunt Carrie did not go outside that night. I'm sure the carrot battle continued after this, but this was the biggest and best one.
