To Share or Not to Share

There I was, holding a cookie.

Just one.

Pandy looked at me with soft, nonjudgmental panda eyes.

Mini Blue blinked hopefully (and turned the color of light cinnamon).

And I thought:
Do I share this cookie… or just find another?

Thus began a very important plushie debate:
Are snacks better when shared—or just when you have twice as many?

Point: Sharing Feels Nice

Pandy says sharing builds community, trust, and warm fuzzies.

Mini Blue once split a grape and turned pink for 14 minutes.
It was magical.

I admit… when I give someone the last bite of a snack, it does feel extra cozy in my chest fluff.

Counterpoint: More Snacks = More Happy

BUT… have you ever had two cookies?

Like—one in each paw?

That’s a different kind of joy.

And what if you want to share but the snack is too perfect to part with? What then? Are you a villain?

Pandy says no. He says intentions matter.

I say… so do pretzels.

The Mini Blue Method

Mini Blue offered a third way:
“Split the snack. Then find another one to split again.”

Brilliant.
Gentle.
Snack-efficient.

We named it the “Mini Blue Two-Bite Treaty.”

Conclusion:

Sharing is beautiful.
Doubles are powerful.
And compromise tastes like two halves of something sweet, eaten side by side.

Now if you’ll excuse me… I have a cookie to split.
(And maybe one to keep.)
