#grandad kei picked up a new hobby 🤣

"Dada, can we have another cookie?"

"You know the rules, Maki. Just one for snacks. You can't eat too much sugar." Satoshi looks at the cookie his son has eaten halfway through. They are ridiculously big, unable to fit in the toddler's hand. What is Dad thinking?

"Why?" Maki asks again. He's not letting this one go easily. Is Grandad Kei's baking that good?

Satoshi sighs. "Because you might get really hyper and find it hard to sleep."

"But Dada, sugar rush is a myth."

Satoshi's eyebrows shoot up. He looks at the kid on his lap just to check if he heard right. "What was that?"

"Sugar rush is not suh... s-suh-yen-fi-chik. If we eat more sugar, we will have sugar crash and get tired. Then we'll sleep."

"H-Wh--" Satoshi sputters, finding himself at a loss for words. "And where are you getting this?"

"Siri, of course."

Satoshi has even more questions now. Meanwhile, Risa just starts giggling, "See? That's tiny Satoshi. 100%."

Satoshi chuckles. "There's about 5% of you there. I will never ask for a second cookie."

"Touché. Meanwhile that little guy on your right..."

"You. Definitely you."

"Mmhmm. Good food? Warm hug? Happy."

Both parents chuckle.

"Dada. Do we get more cookie?"

Little Maki is still looking intently at his dad, waiting for his reward. Satoshi looks at his wife. She nods. "Half each."

"Okay, half each. Good enough?"

The boy pouts and sighs. "Fine..."

Satoshi bites a smile back. He never thought he'd survive a life-threatening curse to see the day that his toddler swindles an extra cookie out of him. With science, at that.

ps: this post is not in any way promoting eating too much sugar. many sugar still bad.
