Polite yet crystal clear

Ethan loves to eat those multivitamin gummy bears. For his age group, he should be given no more than 1 a day but this little boy would persistently request for 3. So, the trick is pretty simple. I just cut the tiny bear into 3 pieces. He counts them and happily confirms that he has been given 3 gummy bears :)

Lawrence “ Ethan, may I have one gummy bear please?”
E “ Sorry Papa. NO WAY!” (running away from papa with his 3 gummies in his little plate)
Lawrence “ Ethan, can Mummy have one gummy bear please?”
E “ Yes”

Haha, Lawrence pulled a long face over it :)
