Emma, AKA the “Corn Bandit,” was at her best tonight during dinner. The minute she discovered corn was on the menu she preceded to take Maggie’s and then began stalking everyone else’s bags as well. Kimie hadn’t had her dinner yet and was upstairs.. I took her bag to her and before I could even get it in the door, Emma was hovering, ready to take over the corn. I thought I was so smart and took the corn out of the bag and handed it personally to Kimie. Emma gave Kimie “the look” and Kimie promptly handed it to her. I tried twice more with two new ears of corn and both times failed to get Kimie her corn. But, Emma didn’t get them either as I kept hold of them on my end…
