My son Samuel is a genius. Well, not exactly, but when it comes to food he’s darn resourceful. He has lived within a epic battle with our terrier over snack time. Samuel is just the right size for the dog to snag his snacks away. But yesterday, man outsmarted the beast. Samuel has figured out that he can fit a whole cracker in his mouth. So when he’s handed a snack he only wants one cracker at a time. In his mouth the cracker is safe from the dog. He crams it in and walks off for a while chewing and laughing. When he’s done he comes back for another one.

There are no more tears around snack time anymore, only a hungry dog.
