Staking His Claim

Here's a story that gave us a giggle last night.

Last night Phil got some dinner out for the boys. He cooked them a few chicken nuggets and got the carrots out. Well as always Jordan has to say how many he wants which this time it was 4 chickens and Peyton wants 4 too. So 4 they each get. Jordan decides to change his mind and holds up 5 fingers, "I want this many!" So he decides to take matters into his own hands and take one of Peyton's chicken nuggets. Then he realized that Peyton had already taken a bite out of it and he says oh this one's broke! And gives it back to Peyton.

Now Peyton is such a smart kid and knows how to keep what he wants. He picks up one piece of chicken takes a bite, puts it back down and does that to the remaining chicken! So of course Jordan being the perfectionist he is doesn't want any of the rest of Peyton's chicken anymore.

Peyton started eating his carrots and Jordan gave Peyton another chicken. Peyton then proceeds to put the carrot down, pick up the piece of chicken, take a bite out of it and then puts it down to finish his carrot!

It's like when a kid licks the top of the cupcake to stake his claim...he already knows how to fend for himself I guess or else he just knows Jordan's personality very well!
