Jamun Dispute
Anu: "Ma, Rohan ate the last jamun! I was saving it!"
Rohan: "It was just one jamun, Anu. You already had three."
Anu: "But this one was the roundest and shiniest. I even put it on the side of my plate."
Rohan: "I thought you were done. You were drinking water and talking to Nani."
Anu:upsetting." "My tummy was resting! Now my heart feels all twisty. It's really
Rohan: "Twisty heart?"
Anu: "Like when your drawing gets smudged or your balloon pops. Upsetting like that."
Amma: "Hmm. Rohan, did you notice Anu keeping that jamun special?"
Rohan: "I… didn’t. I just saw it sitting there and popped it in my mouth."
Anu: "You always do that! You never ask. It's upsetting every single time."
Rohan: "I don’t want to be the ‘upsetting’ brother."
Amma: "So what can you do now to make this less upsetting for her?"
Rohan: "We don’t have more jamun."
Amma: "We have the batter in the kitchen."
Anu: "You mean we can fry more?"
Rohan: "I’ll help! I’ll stir the syrup and you can drop the jamuns in."
Anu: "And you have to ask before eating the last one. Every time."
Rohan: "Deal. I’ll even give you the roundest, shiniest one first, so it’s not upsetting anymore."
Anu: "Okay… then my heart can untwist. Pass me the spoon, Chef Rohan."
