A: Mom, can I have a cookie.
B: But you just had a cookie two minutes ago!
A: I am still hungry, I want another one.
B: No can do dear. Only one at a time, you are going to spoil your dinner. I will be serving dinner in 30 minutes.
A: But it’s not fair, there are so many cookies sitting right there on the kitchen counter. Why can’t I eat them all at once! They’re cookies they’re meant to be eaten!
B: If you ate them all once you’d become a little cookie monster, also too many cookies are bad for you, you will get a tummy ache. You must learn how to save, if you eat one at a time, you will be able to eat them much longer.
A: Alright mom, I will eat them one at a day then.
