Too smart by half!

Last night, fairly late, when I was about ready to herd Luthien off to bed, she asked me if she could have some "flower butter" (sunflower seed butter). I told her no, she'd already had her snack and it was almost bedtime. She threw a brief fit, and then wandered off to talk to Windy.

Windy got my attention, and I came into the kitchen to find that Luthien had gotten into the fridge, taken out the jar of sunflower seed butter, gotten a spoon, opened the jar, and gotten herself a big 'ol spoonful!

I took it away, put it back in the jar, and put the jar up high in the fridge. She was most put out. I told her "no does not mean get it yourself."

I really want to nurture her independent streak, but not without getting run over!
