One More Candy

Uncle Steve: You came into my room like you normally do and got the jar of chocolate covered sunflower seeds that were sitting on my desk and asked me for help because you couldn't unscrew the jar yet. A week or two ago when you had asked for some, your mom was here and she had let you have two of them, so I unscrewed the jar and told you to take two. You took two of the candies and ate them. A minute or two later you got the jar again and said "more." I said, "you already had two. Mommy only let you have two last time." Again you said "more." I said, "no, you already had two." Then you tried one more time with the magic word, "please." I said, "aww, ok. I'll let you have one more." You got a big smile on your face and excitedly said "one!" I unscrewed the jar and held it out for you to take your one more candy. You looked at the jar, then reached your whole hand inside, grabbed a big handful of candies, and shoved as many as you could into your mouth. I said, "hey! That's not one!" You just grinned with chocolate all over your face and kept chewing.
