Grandboy (after snack-eating all evening during his visit): Grandpa I’m STILL hungry. Can I have a spoon of honey please?<\/p>\n
Me: Sure. But you have to run up and down the stairs 10 times. Up and back counts as one.<\/p>\n
Grandboy: WHAT??!?<\/p>\n
Me: How bad do you want the honey?<\/p>\n
Grandboy (on his way down from #8): So if I do ANOTHER ten I can get a second spoonful of honey?<\/p>\n
Me: Nah. You can eat two spoonfuls if you do another ten.<\/p>\n
Grandboy: Yay!<\/p>\n
Grandboy (huffing and puffing and enjoying his spoonful of honey): Ah maybe not. If I do another ten, even for TWO spoonfuls of honey, I’ll be too tired to enjoy it, so I’d rather just enjoy the taste of one for now. Maybe later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
