So what if it is made in XXX?

At times, I can just lose my senses when it comes to tackling Nicole.

Nicole received heaps of christmas presents and many of which were color pencils and alike. I didnt want her to open up all the boxes and I thought I could stop her.

Nic " Mom, may I open this box of color pencils please?"
Me " No, sweetie, you have opened up so many boxes and they are left unused"
Nic " I promise I will use them all"
Me " Now, let me check. This is made in XXX. Let's not touch it" (Just an excuse I made up. I always use this on junk food)
Nic " Oh man! I am not eating it, so does it matter?" (showing me a frustrated face :( ) and she walked away from the table )

Well, I achieved my objective but I certainly did not anticipate this bitter tone from my little girl :(
