Today's OneWord: Greedy
"I want a toy truck and a toy brontosaurus!" cried the little girl, pointing at the rows of goodies. Her father chuckled and squeezed her hand.
"Don't be greedy, Nadia," he grinned. "One or the other."
This was a far better response than I would have imagined. Most mothers or fathers seemed to discourage their daughters from getting anything that wasn't pink or sparkly. Today, however, was different, and the girl's defense was even more enjoyable to hear from my position behind the counter.
"But, Daddy," she argued, "if I don't get the brontosaurus, then who's going to drive the truck?"
"Don't be greedy, Nadia," he grinned. "One or the other."
