Hi, it's me again! I'm Star Shine, and I'm fiveandahalf years old. I'm grounded. It's the first time I'm grounded and it's not fun. At all. And it's a really great day to, it's sunny, and warm and grandma and grandpa is coming. And Golden, my bestest bestest friend. Mom was really mad at me, she was shouting, calling me a bad filly and all those things she does when she's really angry with somepony. Trixie tried to stop Mommy from shouting, but it didn't work. I'm sad now.

Stupid Mommy. 

Mommy is stupid, and Trixie is also stupid. Grandpa is stupid and Grandma is... a bit stupid. Spike is stupid too. He isn't here, but he is stupid too.

It really was Mommys fault. Really! We was sitting outside. Mommy and Trixie was drinking coffee. Trixie was going to watch me because Mommy was going away on a princessthingy. And when mommy came back, Granma and Grandpa was going to come over for Icecream!
Everything would have been great if mommy hadn't got that idea that I should eat something. And if I at least could have had Chocolate pancakes like I wanted.

Mommy wanted me to eat porridge. Icky, thick, gluey porridge. I hate porridge. Mom went inside to dress up, so Trixie was left trying to feed me, but I refused to open my mouth. Mostly because it was icky, but Trixie was fun to watch as well.

"And so...where has the magical spoon decided to show up? In Trixie's hat? No. In this orange? Nooo, there is just a three of clubs. Maybe it is in... your ear!"

I laughed, and clapped my hooves together. I like Trixie.

"And so, the great and powerful Trrrixie will now make the food dissappear... inside your mouth! Here comes the magic spoon..."

"eh... please Trixie! Just one more trick! Please!"

"Well, as much as the great and powerful Trixie enjoys her audience, I did promise Twi to feed you. No more tricks, Shiny. Time for food."

"No". I turned away my head with a sour face. 

"Please, Shiny. Eat your food, like a good little filly."

"Uh-uh!"

"But why?"

"Don't wanna."

"Come now, Shiny. This is really tasty."

"You eat it then. I don't wanna."

Now mommy came out. She was wearing her crown. She was so beautiful and pretty and I got so sad that she was going away. I wanted to go to, I definitely didn't want to stay here and eat! Mommy gave Trixie a kiss, but when she wanted to kiss me, I turned away my head. 

"Shiny, honey. What's wrong?"

When you want parents to do something that they don't want to, there is really only one thing that works. Make them feel guilty. 

"I don't like you, mommy."

Say that with a slight cry in your voice, and your mom is putty in your arms. At least at first. I didn't look at mommy, but I could imagine how sad she looked, because Trixie was the one who spoke.

"Now now, Shiny honey. Don't say those thing to mommy. You know mommy has to do really important stuff today, and she really wants to stay. She will be home as soon as she can."

That sounded pretty reasonable, but I wasn't going to let her off easy.

"You hate me. You both hate me. I want mommy to feed me."

"But shiny, I really can't..."

"WAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Crying. A double-edged sword, as I said. But in this situation it will work perfectly, because mom will be embarrased, and a bit stressed. She will do anything to make me silent. I saw Mommy and Trixie looking very long on each other, and finally mommy sighed.

"Okay...I guess I can be a bit late for the meating. Where's the spoon? Ah, there."

Bugger. the porridge. Half a victory, but so not worth it! It was great that mommy stayed, but now she was going to make me eat! I had to think fast. I didn't know what to do, so I screamed again.

"WAAAAAAHHH!"

"Shiny..." Mommy sounded a bit tired. "Why are you crying."

"Before I eat that icky porridge, I want a worm."

A worm? That's even more nasty than porridge. What was I thinking? Well, mommy and Trixie thought the same.

"You want... a worm?"

"Yes! A worm! I want a worm!"

"But, shiny...really..."

"A Worm!"

"Honey, that's really not..."

"WORM!"

Another look from mom to Trixie. "Alright, alright..." What? Mommy was really starting to look for a worm! That was so funny, I couldn't help giggling. Trixie giggled too, especially when mommy returned with a worm in her magical grip, VERY far from her face. She put it down on the table.

"Ok, Shiny. There's your worm. Now eat your porridge."

"I don't wanna."

"But, shiny..."

"I'm not going to eat the porridge unless mommy eats half the worm first!"

Wow. I had no idea where that came from, and mommy and trixie really looked sick. I was starting to feel a bit bad for them, when mommy got irritated. 

"Now, listen here Shiny, this is definitely to much! We have done almost everything and..."

"What is happening here?"

It was mrs. Golden Harvest and her husband. She looked really mad, and her husband had a frown. Mommy looked cofused, I guess you do that when you're disturbed in a scoulding.

"Ehm... My daughter was..." Miss Harvest interupted mom.

"We could hear your voice from over there!" She pointed...somewhere off. "To use that kind of tone to a little filly! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

"But..."

"No buts! There are nothing that excuses that kind of behaviour from a parent. And you, miss Lullamoon, you ought to keep an eye on her. To see that kind of behaviour... and from a princess as well! Shame on you." She turned away, and walked on towards town. Her husband didn't say anything. He just snorted, and followed his wife.

Mommy looked really sad now. Yeah, take that mommy! That's what happens when your mean to your daughter!

"Well... I guess there is just one thing to do then." She took the worm in her magic, spilt it in half and -euch- ate it. Slowly, and she looked almost green. I couldn't help laughing, and so did Trixie. It was a great day, Mommy was here, she was funny, Trixie was here... But it felt like I had forgotten something.

"Now, Shiny...will you PLEASE EAT!"

Oh yeah...the porridge. The icky, nasty, really really disgusting - and now cold- porridge.

"NO! WAAAAAAHHH!"

"WHAT IN EQUESTRIA IS WRONG NOW?"

"Mommy took the half that I wanted to eat!"

And then mommy grounded me. Stupid mom.
