It's all how you sell it.

Yesterday I was buried in books studying for my finals. Kolby was buried in #$@! packing Madeline's bedroom. Madeline was busy trying to convince Kolby that everything he thought was trash was really part of an art installation.

And Amelia was hungry.

She saw that I was going to be no help, so she made herself a ham sandwich for dinner. And then she put everything away. But then Madeline saw her sandwich and asked Amelia to make her one. So Amelia made Maddie a sandwich and put everything back in the fridge. Then Kolby saw Maddie's sandwich and he wanted one for dinner too. So Amelia got it all out again, with the addition of brown mustard because she knows he likes mustard. After making it, she again put everything away. I know all this because she narrated for me. She also let me know we were out of ham, so there would be no ham sandwich for me for dinner.

She took Kolby's sandwich in to him, and he said thanks, but then asked why he only got one piece of ham. And Amelia, already a brilliant marketer, told him, "Because you're lucky! You got the last piece."
