Today I left the backdoor open so Samuel could come in and out for a little while.  At one point I heard him rummaging thru something, and caught up to him as he was running out the door with a package of M&Ms.  This kid is a candy thief.  He'll hide in a corner trying to open a sucker wrapper with all his might!

So I called after him and he TOOK OFF running!  Then he stopped in the middle of the yard, waiting to see what I would do.  I, of course, ran for the camera. 

Here's the exhange:

1. He's looking to see what I'm going to do.

2.  He thinks, "maybe if I hide behind this thing, she won't notice the candy."  "Candy?  What candy?"

3.  "I really want this candy."  "How can I talk her into letting me have it?"

4.  "Maybe I can use my charm?"

5.  "Ok – that's not working.  What if I pretend I'm reading?  That would throw her!"

6.  "OK – fine.  I'll do what I always do when I have something that she says I'm not supposed to have.  I'll THROW IT AT HER."

7.  But then this happens – because he realizes he just gave up what he really, really wanted.

8.  And then I, being the responsible parent that I am, reward him for his crying fit and give him the object of his desires.

9.  And we both leave happy.

10.  THE END.
