Revolution!

I picked Troy up from daycare again today. But I realized on the way that I had been in such a hurry to get out of the house that I forgot to get him a snack. So, I stopped at a gas station on the way and bought a bag of M&Ms and a bottle of water, figuring that he’d appreciate the treat. I gave him the bag when I strapped him into the car seat, and his face lit up. I had gone from world’s worst father to world’s best father in the blink of an eye!

After I got settled into my seat, I turned to see melted chocolate smeared all around his mouth. I asked, “Can I have one?” And he said, “No!” I tried to reason with him. “You have a whole bag. You won’t even give me one?” But he wasn’t having it. He pulled the bag away from me and said, “Mmm, uhhh. No, they’re mine!” So, I tried begging. “I just want one. You’ll still have a whole bag. Pleeeeeaaaasseeee?” “No!” Losing my patience, I resorted to strong arm tactics. “You do know that I can just take them from you, right?” And this is when he surprised me and made my blood run cold. He looked me straight in the eye, and he said, “Try it, little man, and I will end you! Myyyyyyyyy chocolate!”

Needless to say that he ate that entire bag by himself.
