Wheeling and Dealing

We just had an interesting lunch. Jayson made asparagus and chicken and we had some potato chips with it too. (It's nice to break up the healthiness). Both Lydia and Audrey proclaimed that they did not like the asparagus (or scarabus, as Audrey calls it), despite the fact that they have eaten asparagus many times before. So, Jayson told them that whoever eats all their asparagus gets a piece of Easter candy.

After a while, Lydia had eaten everything except her asparagus. She asked for more chips. We told her no. She told Audrey that if Audrey gave her some of her chips, she would eat all of her asparagus, then get a piece of candy and she would share the candy with Audrey. Audrey agreed.

A little while later, Lydia asked Audrey to help her eat her asparagus. Audrey agreed. Then Audrey decided she liked the asparagus and ate all hers. Lydia then realized what was about to happen. If they both finished their asparagus, Lydia would get half a piece of candy and Audrey would get one and a half pieces. She brought up this situation to Jayson and I and we both agreed a deal was a deal. Audrey really enjoyed eating that extra candy!
