I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Wiggles: I am owed another cracker.

Me: I don’t think so.
Stella: How many crackers do you need?
Wiggles: All of them.
Stella: Then there won’t be any for me. No fair.
Me: Think, Wiggles. You got one when you came in my room to go to bed.
Wiggles: One.
Me: You got a second one when you got into your bed.
Wiggles: Two.
Me: And when Stella came in, you got a third one.
Wiggles: Three.
Stella: Hey, wait! I got one when I came in and then I got one more. I’m the one who is owed another cracker. I can count to three.
Me: Oh, all right. I was saving this last one for myself. But since it’s important to you, here you go.
Stella: So you won’t get one, Lady Human.
Me: Not tonight.
Stella: But I got three and Wiggles got three. That seems fair. All right.
