Mrs. Stendardo's Zucchini Bread

Rachel, remember when you wanted more zucchini bread and I told you that Mom wouldn’t let you have any until you finished the rest of your dinner, and then you went and asked Mom if you could have more and she told you not until you finished your dinner, and then you were really grumpy?
