J was drawing a very elaborate "jellybean" picture (think lots and lots of colorful circles). Without asking if it was okay S added a jellybean. I don't know how the average kid handles uninvited contributions to their masterpieces. In our house neither S nor C would tolerate this from anyone. They would have a crying meltdown or yell in anger, respectively. (I love them both fiercely, no less.)
On the other hand, here's the kind of joyful surprise we get from J: When he saw what S was doing to his picture he said, word for word,
"Aw, that was really nice of you!"
Doesn't that make you warm and fuzzy all over?
