Honesty

We are just finishing up lunch when Amelia had a question.


Amelia:hey mom?
Mama: yes Amelia?
Amelia: do you remember the cookies you brought on the pink plate to Charlene's house yesterday for the party with all the people?
Mama: yes, I remember.
Amelia: no one liked the cookies.
Daddy: Amelia!
Mama: (tries not to laugh)
Daddy: how do you know that no one liked them? Those were good cookies mama made!*
Amelia: no. They weren't good. No one liked them. I watched and no one took one when we were at the party. I was right by the plate and no one took one. Lots of people ate the brownies next to our plate. No one liked your cookies mom.

Mama: (still trying not to laugh): that's okay Amelia. Not everyone likes the same thing. I think our pink cookies on the pink plate were so pretty -
It's okay if no one ate them though!

Amelia: no one ate them mom because they didn't like them.
Mama: thanks, I got the point Amelia. Finish your milk now.

*these were a new cookie this year chosen because one of the main ingredients was peppermint. I like to make things with peppermint because I dislike peppermint. Especially in cookies. It is easy for me to stay out of the cookies when they are peppermint!
