Scenes from the Dinner Table

I'm beginning to suspect that Tessie may not hold me in quite the same regard as she does her mother.

Tonight, Tessie had apple slices for dessert. A whole apple's worth were piled on a plate in front of her, and she was working her way through them slowly when Tessie's Mom asked if she could share. Permission was given, and Tessie's Mom picked a slice off of the plate. Tessie immediately asked for it back and offered a larger one in its place, saying, "This one is much better."

I asked for a slice, and Tessie made her pouty face, picked up a scrawny little slice, snapped it into two pieces and gave me the smaller one.
