Sharing is caring, right?!

A bite for you…two for me…a bite for you…two for me…
Ana is working as a waitress this summer at a local resort complex. One of the perks is that she gets a free meal at the end of each shift. She generally chooses some kind of sandwich or burger type of meal, and then brings it home to eat. The little kids love it when she gets out of her car and notice she’s carrying a ‘to-go box’ filled with food. Like little magnets, they gravitate toward her and want to see what she has this time…and they often seat themselves comfortably, generally within an arm’s reach (or less), of Ana and her box…they don’t beg or whine for a bite, but instead, with curious eyes, they just sit and watch until Ana finally asks if they’d like a bite…and of course, with 6 eyes watching her, it's never long before they’re asked...and they gratefully oblige her offer.

Today when she came home from work she didn’t have a ‘to-go box’ with her…she informed us that she’d already eaten her food while in the car on her way home from work. Smart girl.
