More is Less

Mommy had cut up some cucmbers from the garden and put them on a plate. K took a whole fistful of cucmber slices and put them on his plate, leaving only 2 or 3 slices for everyone else. Mommy pointed out that he had taken almost all of the cucumbers, and asked him, "Do you think that will be enough for me, Daddy, D, and Bubbie?"
K looked at the serving plate and at his own plate. He then took all the cucumbers from his plate and put them back on the serving plate, and then proceeded to take some for himself, one at a time--until he had just as many cucmbers on his plate as the first time. Apparently, if you take them one at a time, or more slowly, you end up with less!
