Of compassion and sharing

Last night, Evan and I were getting ready for one of Evan's greatest pleasures: watching cartoons in Daddy's office. I prepared a wonderful snack for this grand affair: slices of pear, and a nice bowl of raisins. While we were watching cartoons, as he sat in Daddy's office chair and eating pears and raisins, Evan looked at me sitting on a wooden box beside him. Without saying a word, he reached into his bowl and passed me a little handful of raisins. Then he went back to eating raisins and watching Max and Ruby.

A simple story, yet I promise you, dear reader, that it occurred exactly as I described it.
