She looks at me, eyes pleading, and for a split-second I consider saying she can have them, but then I remember she's allergic to them and eating them can kill her, so I have to say no.
Screaming.
Crying.
Foot stomping.
"I'll be sad if you get sick," says me, explaining.
"And you'll be even sadder if I run away!" says she, not caring.
"Not really," mutters me under my breath, for this is the tenth such episode in five minutes.

Oh, the mommy? Definitely the one on the left.

*snort* I can see the scene right in front of me. Oh, can I ever see it.
