Olive
Rose- 4 Hugo- 2
"Yummy, Hugo, olives!" Hermione tried to encourage her son to eat the little black food.
"Ewe!" Hugo covered his mouth with his hand.
"Come on," Hermione ate one. "They're very good."
"No!" Hugo said in distaste. "Icky!"
"But Rosie likes them," Hermione encouraged. Hugo quickly looked over at his sister, and she nodded her head happily.
"Owives are so good, Hugo!" Rosie told him. "Can I have some, Mummy?"
"Of course you can, Rosie." Hermione smiled happily at her daughter, who without knowing it had helped her mother out.
Hermione opened a can of olives and put it in a pink bowl and brought it over to her daughter.
"Here you are, Rosie." Hermione put the bowl in front of her, and Rose quickly dug in.
"Looky, Hugo!" Rose said excitedly. "You put them on your fingers," Rose explained. "See?" All of Rosie's fingers were covered with olives, and she proudly showed her brother.
"Oh cool!" Hugo said excitedly. "Mummy, help me!"
"Okay." Hermione came over and assisted Hugo. "You have to be careful and not squish them." Hermione explained as she placed them on his fingers.
"Oh," Hugo nodded his head, enthralled by what his mother was doing. When she finished, Hugo turned to Rose.
"Now we eat dem!" Rose told Hugo, and she bit off the one on her right thumb. "See!"
Hugo, not wanting to be left out, quickly ate one of his own olives.
"Look how good they are!" Hermione told Hugo as she sat next to him at the table.
"Nummy!" Hugo agreed as he ate another
The next day, Rose and Hugo sat up at the counter drawing, as Hermione made dinner.
"Wooky, Mummy!" Hugo exclaimed after a little while.
"What is it, honey?" Hermione asked distractedly.
"I dew ou' family!" Hugo said excitedly.
"Oh, let me see." Hermione smiled as she came over to see the picture her son drew.
Hermione smiled proudly at the wonderful picture her two year old had drawn.
"I love it, Hugo." Hermione patted his back and kissed the top of his head. "But what are these little black dots on our hands?" Hermione pointed out what she meant.
"Oh," Hugo smiled. "Those are owives."
