In which a subclause is hastily attached to the rule on sharing toys

- So Téo, what do you want to give Lukan for his birthday?

- A Thomas Lego train. No, Edward. No, the grey one.

- OK then, I'll look for one.

- Because I can play with it too. I'd like to play with it.

- Well, but it's Lukan's birthday present so it's his to play with, do you understand?

- Yes. We'll share.

- Well yes, you'll share, but it's Lukan's to play with first.

- Yes. [nods earnestly]

- OK then.

- For 5 minutes. And then it's my turn.
