Permission

We had some donuts in the house yesterday.

Kendall kept asking if he could have another one.

No.

John came in, opened the box and grabbed a donut.

As he was eating it, Kendall chewed him out.

"You didn't ask permission."

"Can I have a donut?  Yes, I may.  There, I just asked and gave myself permission."

Needless to say, Kendall was NOT happy.
