That Was Quick

This is the first year that Po is really into his Halloween candy, agonizing over the decision when he's allowed to have a piece after eating a good meal. He didn't do so well at dinner last night but still wanted a treat, so I told him he'd need to eat more healthy food in order to earn it.

After trying every excuse he knew, he cried, "but, Mommy, my tummy really, really, really hurts..." with a groan for added flair.

"Oh, Po, I'm so sorry to hear that," I sympathized. "If you have a tummy ache, then you definitely shouldn't have a piece of candy, because that will make it worse." Big hugs.

"Well, it's much better, now," he reconsidered, "it was just a short one."
