Sharing Smarties (maybe you had to be there)

My son does not yet share my love of Smarties. I gave him one out of my roll; he put it in his mouth and pondered it awhile. He took it out, and, as food was around, the dog was standing in front of him plaintively.

He gave it to the dog, who thought for far less time before dropping the Smartie to the floor. So Little Bit picked it up, looked at it, and tried to force-feed it to me. I guess I should be glad he inspected it beforehand.
