Enuf is enuf!

Savannah spotted a package of Oreos in the kitchen and asked if she could have one. I consented and handed her a cookie.While she chewed, I got a glass of milk and grabbed a cookie for myself. I dunked it in milk and swallowed. I went for another when she wasn't looking.She watched me grab my third cookie and in her bossy parental tone said,"Momma, dats enuf."

I pretended to listen, and when she wasn't looking, I went for number 5 (or was it six?).

"MOMMA! I SAID DAT'S ENUF!" She screeched. I closed the package, put it back on the counter and sheepishly went back to folding laundry.

A few minutes later I passed through the kitchen to put some clothes away in my bedroom to find a guilty-faced Savvy. She anounced cheerfully,

"Mom, I finished da cookies for youuu!"
