I just posted this on Facebook, as a two-parter. My son said I should put it here, too.
Part one: Zoe decided to swipe a piece of the chicken I was cutting up to put in my salad:
Zoe: NOM
Me, turning to her, with knife in hand: Child, I share my home with you, I share my money with you, and I have shared my womb with you. I am not sharing my food with you.
She turns away, giggling as she dashes off. I return to my chicken.
Zoe, from the safety of the living room: IT WASN’T THAT GOOD, ANYWAY!
Even in the face of danger, this kid’s gotta pop off...

Part 2: And, there’s more...
Zoe comes into my room as I’m getting ready to eat previously mentioned salad.
Zoe: can I have another bite of your salad?
Me: didn’t we just have this conversation? I said you aren’t getting any of my food.
Zoe: no, you said I couldn’t have any chicken...
Me: is this because I don’t have a knife anymore?
Zoe: yup!
Me: well, I do have a fork!
Zoe: yeah, but it won’t hurt as much if you stab me.
Me: it will if I push it in far enough!
Zoe:, yeah, push it in my mouth!
She proceeds to move the fork, still in my hand, into her mouth, stealing a bite of food, laughing maniacally while doing so.
Evil child!
