A trick-or-treater stopped by our house twice the other night, but the second time was with a friend who wasn’t with them the first time. When I noticed only the friend was reaching for some candy, I assured the first trick-or-treater it was fine if they wanted another piece as well.
Obviously severely tempted, they told me, “I’d rather save the candy for other people.”
“That’s fine,” I replied. “You can have your principles or you can have another piece of candy. You win either way in this case.”
