Quinn and I are watching a movie (land before time) and eating Goldfish... I can't stand popcorn!
Anyway I have two piles on a paper towel between the two of us... His pile and my pile... (those are his rules not mine)... he says to me "mommy this is your pile and this is mine"
So, I'm munching away on my pile of goldfish watching away... when from the corner of my eye I see Quinn reaching into my pile and adding more to his pile... Of course I made a big show of it pretending to catch him in the act... saying "HEY THAT'S MY PILE" he just smiled like he did nothing wrong... we went through this process about three times... But in his defence sometimes he would take one from his pile and say "here mommy" and hand it to me... then proceed to "sneak" some from my pile again to add to his...
I guess his guilty conscience caught up with him... eventually he said "mommy?" I turned to him and he pushed all his goldfish into my pile and said "here mommy, you can have them" with a sweet little expression he has learned to use to get his way...
I think he ultimately wants to share... but if he can get away with not sharing behind my back ... he certainly will.
