Snacks: Moms (0) vs. Kids (1)

I went shopping with my home schooling friend. We also had to take her 10 & 13 year old boys along so that they could try on shoes that she was purchasing at our first stop. They know after many shopping trips with their mom that the day could go long and so, they pack snacks for themselves. Their mom found some ring pops at a good price at one of the stores and purchased several to save for later. The boys asked to get into the ring pops several times, without success.   My friend told her boys that they had their own snacks and they should eat those instead.  At this the 13 year old replied, "Yes, mom, but we are going to the furniture store and then the book store - I need to ration my provisions! They got the ring pops!
