Premeditated Deception...

Picture this, you are two and a half, and you want a delicious treat from the loot you scored two nights before. It is only 10:00 in the morning, so you ask, "Mama can I have candy?" No dice, she says "no it is too early for sweets." Even you know the toaster pastry you just ate has way more sugar than that pack of skittles you currently are eying. Okay only a minor setback, you wait until you see your window. Aha! Mom has to get in the shower. Unfortunately she is distracted by the TV and the email she says she has to write, so she sits back down on the couch... "Mommy do you have to take a shower?" you ask sweetly just to remind her as she is typing away. Patiently you pass the time, about thirty minutes, playing on the floor. Just as you start to lose hope she closes the computer and you jump up and grab her hand. "Mama go take a shower now" you say as you pull your mother, who at this point may or may not know you are up to something, into the bathroom. You let go and run into the other room climbing up on the chair by the counter where a great big bowl filled with any candy your heart desires awaits you. "Finally" you think to yourself; but just as you reach for a piece there she is. Oh no Mommy has followed you; wide eyed and startled, putting on the cutest most innocent face you quickly come up with something to try to weasel your way out. But since she isn't buying it; off to baby jail you go. You have served your time and gotten off easy, but know now if you try that again things will not go well for you.
