If we can't see it, it must not be there.
Tonight at dinner we had a little tongue burning incident. #1 aka J burned his tongue on his hot chocolate in his eagerness to drink it before it was cooled down. This resulted in his being upset that his tongue hurt, which resulted in me giving him an otter pop out of the freezer to help it feel better.
#5 aka C decided he wanted an otter pop too (he even tried saying his tongue hurt to get one). I told him he could have one if he ate all of his breakfast burrito for dinner. He toyed with his food for a while, then slid his plate so it was right next to #1's plate and announced that he was done and had eaten all his food. "See?" he gestured at his empty spot at the table. Of course since we had seen him move his plate and since we aren't total idiots, we called his bluff.
A little while later, he went to his Dad and told him he was done eating. Strangely he was holding something behind his back. Daddy asked him where his food was "In my tummy" was the reply. Of course that was not the case, since that is what he had behind his back. He did eventually finish his food, and got his reward. His persistence in trying to get the reward without doing the work was sure cute though.
