There’s no prize. Just that warm toasty feeling that fills you from the core when you know you were correct.

Nice Try, Little Girl
When Zia arrived home from preschool yesterday morning it took her all of two minutes to notice the empty mugs and half-filled marshmallow bag still lying on the counter. Probably not that long.
“What the…they got hot chocolate?” she asked incredulously, clearly stunned that she had not been invited.
“Well, yes, Zia. The twins wanted to play outside this morning and it was pretty cold. So we had hot chocolate after they came back inside.”
“I want hot chocolate!” she exclaimed.
“Zia, they got it because they played outside.”
“OK……(pause)….(pause)….Can I go outside?”
“Sure.”
So over the next ten minutes Zia gathered her boots, her gloves, her snow pants, hat, coat, scarf…(Did I mention it was cold outside?) Carefully, she assembled herself and made ready to go outside and play.
“OK, Zia. Have fun,” I called to her as she headed out of the door.

Seriously, it was less than a minute.
Zia walked back into the house and proclaimed, “Whew! It’s cold out there. Now can I have some hot chocolate!!”
Nice try, little girl.
