Tails from the Backseat (part II)

This exchange was between E1 and E2. Now every parents struggles with teaching sharing. Its a tough less to learn. I'd love to take credit for this one, but I think you just had to be there to understand that full humor of the situation.

Background: At daycare the kids can grab a small treat or snack on the way out. usually saltine crackers, or individual goldfish packets. Keep in mind, both E1 an E2 have their own bags of goldfish.

E1: E2. Do you want one of my goldfish.
E2: Yeah.
E1: You're welcome
E2: tank you (yes "tank" since E2 doesn't really say "thank" yet)
E2: E1 you want fish?
E1: Sure. Thank you
E2: welcome.
E1: E2. Do you want another goldfish.
E2: Yes peas
E1: Here you go
E2: Tank you
E1: You're welcome.
..
..

This went on for close to five minutes. the sharing back an forth. Do you want two?
Yes peas. Tank You. Welcome. it had me in stitches. If only they could do that when is comes to who gets to place with the cars or the transformers. At least it was progress right!!!
