What would you suggest for this situation?

My daughter dropped the twins off for a bit today. They’ll be 4 in January.

It was great. We hung out in the RV which was in the driveway, which we took to Oklahoma last week.

They discovered a Rollo candy roll that I’d left on the console. I had only eaten one. They wanted to eat the rest.

Well, it was melted into one solid log, pretty much, so I unwrapped what was left and told them to share.
They’re very used to sharing and for the first 3 bites they were perfect. Take a bite, hand it to the other, who would take a bite, who would then hand it back.

Well, got down to the last two bites and Savannah….stuffed the whole last two bites in her mouth and ate it with a triumphant grin.
Kale’s face just fell in shock. He got tears in his eyes. She is so mean sometimes! So helpful and protective of her brother at others.

I gathered Kale in my arms and told him I’d buy him his own one day, then looked at Savannah and reproachfully said, “Savannah! That wasn’t nice.”

Her smile disappeared.

So, I shall buy them both a Rolo, but I’m thinking of making a point of taking one of Savannah’s and giving it to Kale to comp, or telling her she should do that.

This is a small thing, I know, but it could be a learning experience in making things up to people you have wronged.

What do you think? I’m trapped by football tonight! That’s why I’m dreaming up these questions!
