Sharing (Anna)

I was nibbling on a (wheat-free) chocolate biscuit this afternoon - a treat from Caroline after she went to our favourite health shop. And Emma, who can sniff out a biscuit from ten miles away, asked for some (the word "share" becomes very valuable in such circumstances). So I gave her some and she tottered outside with her piece of biscuit to play in the sun. She came back a few minutes later with her baby doll, Victoria, in hand, and explained to me that Victoria wanted to share, too, so she also needed some biscuit. And of course, I knew that Emma was going to "help" Victoria eat it. So I gave her some, not because Emma has me twisted around her little finger (although that might also be true) but because if Emma is clever enough to come up with a reason why she should have more biscuit while evoking the very noble spirit of sharing - and can enlist the support of her toys in her tactics - I think her entrepreneurialism should be rewarded.
