I pretend to find you interesting, isn't that nice enough?
Besides, you still gained more from getting your own, because even if I had given you all I had at that point, you would not have gotten many. I had just been plundered by two kids.

Throw the whole bag of cookies in the garbage and dump some kind of crap on them that makes them into a mess that turns your stomach.

I was not stopping him from having any cookies. I had jsut sat down and given half my cookies away at that point. Beisdes it did him good to get up and move around a bit. He gained more by getting his won, since he would not have gotten as many if I gave him some of mine.

Shame on him...
He owes you.  Didn't you buy him snacks at the movies when he was growing up?  It's time he returned the favor.  Selfishness gets you nowhere, especially when you 'dis' Mom.

Sorry old man, but I only had so many cookies. Besides, I thought you were an adult and could get your own. If you took from me you would have only gotten one, as the kids did. Instead you got a few, I think I saw four of various kinds, so you made off much better by getting them yourself.

Okay everyone
This post was written by Xeno_x, my father while I was not looking. I was busy upstairs introducing my step-niece to the greatness of the Classic Star Wars Trilogy.
So please keep that in mind as you read this post. I myself have not read it yet, but will since it looks like it is about me.

Isn't "Get your own!" the mantra of our hyper-capitalist society? Hemlocker
