Approaching the near-empty bag Ziploc bag of home made chocolate chip cookies, I thought:
"Oh good, there are only two left! I can eat the last ones without feeling guilty, because the kids would just fight over who gets the last two anyway."
I took another step closer.
"Oh, there are three left...
Well, they would never go for each just getting one little cookie (and one was that sad bottom-of-the-bowl cookie that only had a single chocolate chip in it!).
Three isn't that bad. They're small. Still mine."
I reached in to claim the cookies.
"Oh. There are four left...
Four is too many. I am not going to eat four cookies. That would be gross."
(I ate four.)
