While waiting on line at a local cafe popular with parents of young kids, I heard an earsplitting shriek of, "I WANT MORE! DADDY, I WANT MORE!"
I had to laugh, thinking about how this request would be received at our house -- with a raised eyebrow and an immediate revision to "I mean, could I have some more, please?"
Occasionally I worry that I'm a little too permissive with K. I can often be prevailed upon for one more book or five more minutes of playtime. But about some things, we're sticklers.
That makes me think of the Veruca Salt character in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
