Joy!

Eitan (10AM): "Can I have a piece of cake?"

Sonnet: "No! You can't have a piece before lunch."
Eitan: "Dad – can I?"
Me: "Go for it."
Sonnet:
Me: "Vacation rules."
Sonnet rolls her eyes disapprovingly.
Me: "The thing is, you are going to feel awful afterwards."
Eitan: "It is worth it."

Madeleine sees Eitan:
"Can I have a piece of cake too?"
Me: "No."
Madeleine: "Why can Eitan have a piece of cake and I can't?"
Me: "That is just the way it is kid."
Madeleine helps herself looking me in the eye, shaking her head: "Oh, dad."
