There’s a sweet little girl sitting in the foyer of the museum with her godmother. It’s her 2nd birthday today, and we people at the front desk are making much of her.
Uncle Benny: Would you like a sweet? Are you allowed to eat sweets?
Godmother: Are you allowed to eat sweets, Hannah?
Hannah: *nods furiously* Yes!
Uncle Benny: *holds out bag of sweets* Here, you can have two sweets, because you’re two years old.
She takes one sweet.
Uncle Benny: Here, have another!
She takes one more.
Jamilah: You can have as many as you want…take some more!
She reaches out and calmly takes the whole bag.
:D
Clever child.
