Our Fruit Snack Dilemma

Earlier this morning, when I was making lunches, I made one for Addy and her friend that is coming over to play today before afternoon kindergarten.  Addy was looking in the lunches to see what I made for them to eat so she could approve it and deem it acceptable for her and her friend to feast upon.  Just the other day at the store I let her pick out some Tinkerbell fruit snacks.  She was not happy to find them in the lunches.

Addy:  Mom!  Why did you put my new fruit snacks in my lunch without my permission!?!

Me: Because I bought them and I thought you and your friend would like to have them today.

Addy: But they are mine and you need to ask my permission before you use them!

Me: But I bought them and I was making your lunch and I thought you would like to have them.

Addy: (going on as if she didn't hear a word I just said) Those are MY fruit snacks and you need to ask MY permission before you use them.  You don't like it when we use things of yours without your permission, do you?

Then she folded her arms, tilted her head to the side and gave me that mom look that says I did something wrong.
