“What are you doing, Mummy?”

“Shelling chickpeas.”

“Can I have one?”

“Sure.” I give you one.

You eat it. “Can I have three in my hand?”

I laugh. “You can have four.”

You squeal. “Thank you very much!”

You proceed to eat half a can of chickpeas in small handfuls.

“Maybe I can have chickpeas in my lunchbox for barnehage!”
