To share or not to share...

Bella is usually very diplomatic when it comes to snacks. If you give her a cookie she will ask for two more (one for each sister) and then run off yelling "Peoples I have a cookie for you". One of her quirks is that she calls everyone "people" or "peoples". Yesterday, as Jared and I were each laying on a couch nibbling on Saltines (we both had the Stomach flu), Bella came and asked for some crackers. I handed her two and she asked for two for each sister also. As she walked away we commented on what a sweetheart she was for always being concerned for her sisters and for being a great sharer. A few minutes later we heard the sound of feet thumping up the stairs and the two older girls emerged from the basement. This is what we heard "Mom, (note: Dad is also on the couch but for some reason its more fun to whine to Mom) Bella has a lot of crackers and will only give us one each"
Well, so much for our unselfish, sharing daughter. She did give them one each but I guess she kept the extra crackers as a handling fee.
