The hazards of trying to teach children

Naomi has recently taken to eating her dessert quickly and then scavenging extra dessert from the rest of us. I was eating a chocolate cupcake last week and Naomi approached and asked for a bite. (I momentarily considered shoving the rest in my mouth, then remembered I'm older than 10 now -- also, I wasn't sure I could fit half a cupcake with icing in. ;)) I paused as I considered the wisdom of adding to her dessert load, and she came out with, "Mama, you need to share: we're a sharing family!" Hmmm...where had she heard that before?
