Oh these, darling, loving, obedient, truthful children

[GoodAg]

So after dessert tonight (one piece of cake for each of us), I stand up and am cleaning off my plate at the sink.

My 7-year old walks up to me, empty plate in hand, and asks, "May I please have another piece of cake?" Before the words are out of my mouth, hubby says, "No. One is enough." She still remains standing next to me motionless, empty plate outstretched, looking up at me.

I step aside a bit to give her a chance to rinse her plate in the sink. She doesn't move. Still looking at me, still with plate outstretched. Looking at her I ask, "Why are you still standing here like that?" And (obviously believing I didn't hear her father) says, "I wanted..." [[[hubby quickly interjects, "I already said no more cake."]]] "...to tell you I love you."

Oh, these darling, honest children.

Hey, at least she said please! My teenager would just wait til I went to bed then sneak a piece.
