Lucy serves herself

The other morning I was half asleep in bed when Lucy comes running in like she does every day and tells me that she wants me to "geddup" and she wants "some-in to eat". I told her to hold on, like i always do, to wait a few minutes while i rouse myself and i turned over and fell back asleep. A few minutes later i hear a pitter patter of feet nearing the bed and i look up and she's standing next to me, eating a box of yogurt covered raisins. Apparently she had run downstairs, opened the cabinet and helped herself to a delicious breakfast of raisins doused in sugar. I guess if i were a good parent, i would've snatched them away, gotten up immediately and cooked a healthy meal of proteins and irons. Instead, i silently congratulated her on her industriousness, and fell back asleep.
