You Know You Have Children When …
… the following statements can be heard at the dinner table:
1) “We don’t throw rocks while eating dinner.”
2) “That’s not where your food goes.”
3) “Please eat like a human.”
4) “Put the panda down and finish your food.”

It’s true! It’s true! It’s all true!
Overheard at the G household at any mealtime:
“Please do not talk with food in your mouth. It’s disgusting and rude”.
Repeat approximately 17,000 times…
It’s to the point now where I only get the “Please do not talk with food in your mouth.” part out, and the offending child will finish “I know. It’s disgusting and rude”.
Usually with mac & cheese bits peppering the table…

I forget…at what age does a child begin to absorb nutrition via ingestion rather than osmosis? Mine just turned 17 and those days are but a distant memory. Your descriptions take me back to the good ol’ days!
