At Daddy's office, there is a bowl of candy that sits high on the ledge near the front door. The girls know this, just as they know that a trip to Daddy's office means that they can each have a small treat. The last time, however, that we were there, the candy bowl was empty, and both toddlers were devastated.
This morning, when my husband called with the plea that I load all three children up and take his medication to him at work, my girls grew very excited. The shouts of "Candy!" filled the house until Arabella remembered that the bowl had been empty the last time.
Amaya: Maybe we can take our bag of Starburst and pour all of it into the candy bowl at Daddy's work. Then there will be candy there!
Me: That's a real good idea, but if we do that, then we won't have any candy here.
Amaya: That's okay. We can just stay there and eat it all.
Arabella: I think that's a win-win situation, Mama.
