She NEEDS chocolate.

We went to CVS to browse around a little and see what they had in stock for Christmas. We found a cute photo album with a big ladybug on front and Amelia wanted to look at it while we wheeled around. By the time she was done with it, I was ready to go so I told her we would put it back, but she didn't think that was a good idea. I went down the photo album aisle and as I stopped in front of the place where it belonged I told her it needed to stay there and that she could have a piece of the chocolate I was buying. (Ghirardelli peanut butter and chocolate squares, on sale!) She reluctantly agreed and we proceeded to the check-out. The girl rang us up and as I was paying Amelia starts, in a pleading (not exactly whining) tone, "I neeeeed chocolate. Mommy, I neeeeeeeed chocolate!" I said to the clerk, "Hmmm, she needs chocolate?" My, my, she's only 3 - what will it be like by the time she's 12?
