L1 and L2 had helped make chocolate no-bake cookies and were finishing by licking the utensils and dishes. L1 (6.5yrs) got mad at L2 and I stepped in. Here’s the condensed version.
L1: He’s licking something that I wanted to lick!
L2 continues scraping the chocolate off the side of the bowl, undaunted.
L1: Let’s make a plan! You can lick your spoon and the bowl and I’ll lick the three cookie scoops, the measuring cup, and the spatula. Then that’s fair because your things are bigger than mine.
/me shoots L1 a look. He quickly adjusts
L1: Or do you have a plan idea, L2?
L2 (with a casual shrug of his shoulders): My plan is, we just eat whatever we feel like eating.
L1 goes into a complete screaming, shaking, uncontrollable meltdown: Mom! He doesn’t have a plan!
