Matt and Mandy
-
Mama! Matt took the last cookie!
So? You were about to take it yourself. -
You should at least give me half.
OK. You can have the half I’m chewing.
Mama! Matt’s being gross! -
I’d like to read something that Jesus said: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you.”*
-
That’s a hard commandment.
Actually, our lives are a lot easier when we keep it. -
All right, I’m sorry I didn’t share.
You should be. -
OK! I would have taken the last cookie myself, and I’m sorry I got mad.
It’s all right. I’d have been mad, too.
