When we do our big monthly stock-up trip to the Co-op, it's important to keep the kids motivated and occupied. They have certain jobs to help with, favorite food items to put in the cart, and that sort of thing. They are great at playing "I Spy" in the cereal aisle while I fill bags in the bulk section, but eventually patience runs thin. The only thing that keeps them from hitting each other (anymore) is the bribe -- behave and you can pick a treat at the end. And they always do.
Their favorite treat is gummy worms, and they are allowed to eat them as they please once we leave the store. All six in one day, or one at a time.... doesn't matter. The problem is, when you try to eat something special near a
hungry dad, you have a battle on your hands.
He never does win, with Chloe's iron grip and all, but it's an entertaining game to play.

Hahaha! I love it! Your pictures make me feel like a kid again, wrestling my treats away from my Dad :) What is it about Dads that makes them instinctively tease little people in such a fun and endearing way?
