I could probably count with one hand the times I allowed you to eat candy which probably makes you one of the least entitled kids in the world when it comes to candies. 

Yesterday you were watching this educational video about counting using candies. And hence during dinner, with a bubbly air, you raised the candy topic. 

Yui: Candies are so sweet! (Insert cute expression here). And they come in different flavours too. 

Me: U-huh. 

Yui: it would be good to eat them together  with Daddy (at this point your Dad looked at you to see where this is heading). 

Me: U-huh. 

Yui: (with a sweet expression on your face) Mommy can we buy, for me and Daddy. 

Me: Just as I thought! That’s the next line I was expecting. 

Yui: Sou da ne (You may be right).

To the tune of “No more monkey jumping on the bed”, I said

Me: No no candy for Yui-chan

Yui: those lyrics are not correct Mommy! It should be “No more monkey jumping on the bed!” desu yo?!

And so you didn’t have your candy. But I told you as well that I appreciated the fact that you tried to work your way, by reason, to what you wanted. I know and saw that you needed courage to say it so I appreciated that. 

Grow up well, honey.
