Eat Your Vegetables

Tommy was hungry for a snack, so I gave him a bowl of dry HoneyCombs while he watched Sesame Street. Twenty minutes later, he was back: "I'm still hung-ary, Mom! Can I have some more HoneyCombs, please?"
"No, Tom, we're going to eat lunch in a little bit, so that's enough snacks."
And then, knowing I'll say yes: "Then, can I have a carrot, Mom? Please?"
And then, knowing I think it's cute that he has finally learned to hold up a correct number of fingers on his hand: "Can I have [pause to count out the fingers] two carrots?"
