TJ likes to eat shredded cheese. I let him do it, even though it makes kind of a mess.
Tonight, Julia spots his cheese and starts giving him the sign for more.
He gives her one piece. One shred.
Put that in the kindness jar, he tells me.
I am about to throw a frozen pizza in (Newman's Own - 2 for $6 at Dave's!) - have to decide between the thin and crispy uncured pepperoni or the supreme.
TJ, pick one, I tell him.
He picks the pepperoni.
Now Julia, you pick one, I say to her.
She's not too interested in it, she is eating a plum and is preoccupied with that.
"I'll pick one for her," TJ says. "She picks this one." Surprise, surprise, the pepperoni.
