Thursday in the Park with Friends

We enjoyed a lovely few hours at the park this afternoon with some of DD's homeschool friends. It took her a bit of time to warm up, which needlessly stresses me out. First we had to deal with the snack situation. We made buttermilk scones this morning to share, and I left them in the car so the kids could play a bit. Wrong.

DD: Where are the scones?
Me: In the car.
DD: Can we eat them?
Me: Not yet. Go play.

Five minutes elapse. Repeat conversation. And so on, until I finally broke down from the strain and retrieved the scones from the car. Miraculously, she went to play after scone consumption. She did, however, return a few times to attempt to wheedle more scones. Her new rationale is "nobody's looking." When did she become a politician?
