my mom made these amazing salted caramel & chocolate shortbread squares so she cut a small piece for me and a small piece for her. She finished hers before me and Ruthie came out and said, “Can I have a piece too?” My mom said no because we were about to have dinner. “Then why does Naomi get one?!” My mom looked over at me, incredulous, and said, “Naomi! You ate one?!” and pinched me. As she turned back to whatever it was she was doing, I could see her snickering to herself.
