A Lesson On Sharing

When I was at the store the other day I bought myself a bag of the Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups and then I went home and proceeded to hide them so that I would not have to share. My excuse for this was I am pregnant and sometimes after a long day with the kids a little chocolate treat tastes so good. So tonight I went to the cupboard and was trying to quietly sneak a treat when Carter walked in and caught me and this was our little conversation.

Carter: Can I have one of those?

Me: No theses are just for mommy.

Carter: Well Jesus Christ says that we should share.

Me: I know but this time I am not going to share this is a special treat just for me.

Carter: Then Jesus Christ is going to send you back up.

Carter cracks me up with some of the things that he comes up with and he is serious I almost had to give in and share my treat but I figured it would be worth going back up to have one treat just to myself.

Ok, that was seriously hilarious. I do the same thing with my "special treats" sometimes. Luckily my kids have yet to call me out like that! LOL
