Subject: QOTD for Sunday, August 5, 2012

The following quote is taken from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 75, Lice . Copyright© 2005 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

“‘Promise I won’t. I’ll eat everything!” he said, already reaching for the spoon.
“Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of,” I said, relinquishing it with some reluctance. “Just a taste now- leave some for your daddy and grandda.”
He nodded, wordless, and licked the spoon with a long, slow swipe of tongue, closing his eyes in ecstasy.
I found another spoon and set about dropping the cookies onto the tin sheets I used for baking. We ended in a dead heat, the sheets full and the bowl quite empty, just as footsteps came down the hallway toward the door. Recognizing Brianna’s tread, I snatched the empty spoon from Jemmy and rubbed a quick towel across his smudgy mouth.”

[> I am quite guilty of this. Giving the grandkids food at odd times and indulging them when I wouldn't with my own kiddos. Then hiding it from "mama". I don't do a conspiracy against the parents but it is still fun to get away with it. lol. -- Lady Elizabeth, 02:51:21 08/05/12 Sun
