When Bethany had been sent to her room she continued the screaming for a full forty minutes, while the Brown family ate supper. When supper was over, Archie went in to Bethany’s room, to find her standing in the middle of the room with her hands balled into tight fists. Archie told his little foster daughter, “Bethany, you have met the hardest headed man you will ever meet. You can continue to scream if you want to, but if you want to eat, you must say eat.”
She looked at him, quit screaming and, through firmly clinched teeth, growled, “Eat!, Eat!, Eat! She was escorted to the table and given her supper.
