Treat

My wife took our daughter to a show this evening, leaving me with our anxious-looking little chap and his plate of barely-touched dinner. But after the tears and wailings over the disappearance of his sister and mum, he suddenly turned into a perfect little angel for me. Maybe it was the particularly complex plot in this evening's episode of In the Night Garden that provided the necessary distraction. In anycase he managed all his dinner, ate his fruit and yogurt, and so was handsomely rewarded with the chocolate constructed treat that he's holding here. I'm sure there are parental opinions out there that advise against associating 'chocolate' with good behaviour. But he so deserved it.
