the voice of reason

(Lunchtime)

Me: Do you want some more carrots?

LO: Yes! More carrots and more fishsticks.

Me: Well, there are no more fishsticks...

LO: Mommy, cook some!!!

Me: They take a long time to cook... I can make you some chicken nuggets [in the microwave]. Would you like some chicken nuggets?

LO: Well, chicken nuggets take a long time to cook too. [pause] So I think you should give me a cookie. And two M&Ms.

LO is so reasonable! I hope you complied.

Yep! Turns out, he was sated by the cookie. The M&Ms live to see another day. :-)

Wow. That was so much better than a major meltdown about the fish sticks! Yay for you to give him the cookie.
