Have you had one of those moments when the prefect chocolate treat, loved by all, is down to one small piece? No one in the group is willing to take the last piece and appear greedy. If we were children, we might all make a dive for it but, no, we’re mature adults.
Someone suggests Sandy takes it, “You think I’m too skinny?”
Sandy suggests Mandy LOVES chocolate, “Now you’re saying I’m too fat!”
The to and fro continues until, “It’s gone! Who took it?”
With my most innocent expression, “I wasn’t watching,” and to myself, “…but it was delicious.”

Opportunities knock for those who see the others distracted. 🙂

I think that solved the problem. Of course, as I was reading I pictured one of my dogs, with an innocent look as the evidence is smeared all over his nose. 😉

Thanks for the comment.
I’ve seen young children with looks of innocence yet evidence scattered around. We learn to be sneakier as we grow. 🙂
