Lioness Employs Ingenuity for Chips

Posted on Updated on

Sadly, the word “NO” is becoming an increasingly ambiguous term in our household. After devouring a bagel like a ravenous jungle cat, Savannah decided that it was only fair that her Daddy should share his few precious remaining chips with her. Daddy however, did not think that this was a good idea at all.

“Honey, these are my chips. You’ve had breakfast and just finished a bagel.”

“But Daddy, I NEED CHIPPIES”

I placed the tiny plate of chips into the center island of the kitchen. Savannah used her Go Go Gadget arms to snatch her first chip.

I was hoping to enjoy these chips while putting some groceries away.

Next, I opened up a cabinet and placed the chips up on a shelf.

I thought this would solve the problem once and for all. I ran out to the car to get one last bag of groceries and came back to my 3-year-old, crunching yet another chip while elongating herself off at the top of her stool.

I kept looking for higher perches as she followed me around the kitchen with her trusty stool.

In the end, I did get two chips, but it was clear that Savannah has the upper hand.
