She Cried "Potty"

Zoe said she HAD to go to the bathroom, so we offered
to let her go off of the boat. She wouldn't. The little
manipulator didn't even go when we got back to the house.

Then Zoe melted down.

So Leah got photographed in front of the Capitol by herself
while Zoe threatened, "If you don't carry me, I will never eat again."
She walked.
