Strategic Thinking

Today Lola was having hot chocolate with us, and Josh broached a controversial topic.
"Lola, soon you're going to wrap up your pacifiers and give them to the babies," he said.
Lola has been sleeping with a pacifier at night, which is okay until they reach three years of age. She looked uneasy. I jumped in to facilitate the plan.
"You don't have to give up the paci now, we'll do it in about a week. You'll wrap it up and give it as a present to babies," I volunteered.
Josh added for emphasis, "Babies need pacifiers."
Lola looked down for a second, obviously trying to think of a way out of the situation. Then she hit on it.
"Baby Tommy already has a paci." Baby Tommy is our friends' child.
Josh wasn't going to admit defeat.
"Tommy is very fortunate. Other babies don't have pacifiers."
Lola, still looking down, let loose a huge grin, acknowledging strategic loss, but doubtless still planning to escape her coming fate.
