Edie was disappointed.
"No decorations? What are you going to do with all of that paper?"
"You'll see. Where are we going to put this tree? Can't put it in the kitchen window, as it will be too close to the sink."
"Do we have to have it in a window?" Edie asked.
"Yes, mommy. Everybody is doing it."
"Well, put it in the bedroom window. It's the only window we have other than the fron of the house and we don't use that."
"Nobody's going to see it when they come in the house!" Susan yelled out.
"They'll see it when they are outside. Now ENOUGH--go sit in the corner!"
After an hour Edie asked Susan if she was ready to come out and talk without yelling.
"If you start yelling again you will go right back into the corner but no supper this time. Well?"
"Yes, Mommy."
Edie never did that. Susan always had supper.
