Harper detests eggs. At least that's her alibi. Lucy loves them and asks for them for breakfast, lunch or dinner on a regular basis. If I fix them for Harper, she squishes her face up and starts gagging, before even the first bite.
Today Lucy decided she wanted green eggs so we scrambled up a couple. As usual, she was determined that Harper try at least a bite. She doesn't seem to understand that Harper doesn't like them. So, she put an enormous bite on her fork and Harper came around the table. I stood by ready to clean up the egg mess that was certainly going to be all over Harper and the floor in a moments time. Indeed, it was not. Instead, Harper stood next to Lucy and begged for additional bites. Then she returned to her seat to eat her requested breakfast "wapples" or waffles for those whoe don't speak Harper. Lucy then had to go to the restroom. As I was helping Lucy, Harper decided to help herself to Lucy's green eggs. We returned to find the thief with two forks in her hand, a mouthful of green eggs and not much left on Lucy's plate. I said, "what are you doing?" she replied "Snack!"
Caught, green egged and red handed.
