Isn't more always better?

So I think Eva's taken to the motto, "Isn't more always better?"

I mean sometimes, but not always... today after picking Grace up from school the three of us are in the kitchen I'm "trying" to fix Grace macaroni and cheese - w/ out a boxed recipe! Crazy I know, but we're out... note, she didn't like my homemade version, go figure. I look over and see Eva, seriously looking like a cat that just got caught eating a canary... still in her mouth - fighting to get out. So I say, "Mutchkin, what's going on? What do you have in your mouth?" Out comes a HUGE smile followed by the biggest wad of gum ever! The gum is a mixture of chewed gum, and gum w/ the wrapper still on!

Apparently, Eva thought "more is always better" so she just stuffed it all in her mouth:-)

She was very upset to lose all of her gum, as was Grace since Eva stuffed nearly a pack of Grace's Trident into her little mouth - but after a lot of tears, Eva settled on being happy with 1/4 stick of gum.

Lesson: Sometimes less is better;-)
