So my daughter and i were sitting eating ice cream after lunch today. Since I eat faster than her i got up to get more. She asked me if she could have some more to which i replied; "no sweetie, you have enough". Without even thinking about it she asked; "then why did you get yourself some more?"
My first answer would have been; "'cuz i am bigger than you, or 'cuz i am in charge" but instead i told her i had a smaller amount than her so i needed just a little bit more.
Then i realized the truth; '
because i can control her portions but i apparantly cannot control my own.
Lessons from a 3 year old are hard!
