Just thought I would share a fairly typical dinner conversation. This was last night -
Mom: Yum, homemade bread and homemade jam! I am the perfect mom.
Mo: Yes you are . . . and so is Brittany. (Brit raises her eyebrows.)
Dad: Morgan, eat.
Z: That’s b-scusting!
Mom: No, it’s just meat with ketchup on it.
Z: I need more ketchup. (Hugging ketchup bottle) I love it, love it.
Dad: Morgan, eat.
Mom: Why are there peas on the floor?
Mo: They’re mine. They don’t want me to eat them.
Mom: Where is the ketchup bottle?
Z: White here. (Pulls bottle out from under the table.) I need it!
Dad: Morgan, eat.
Mom: Your peas on the floor again.
Z: I peed
Dad: Different pea. Morgan, eat.
Mom: Eat your meat, Zane.
Z: I not like it! I need ketchup!
Brit: I’m done
Dad: What’s for dessert?
Mom: Morgan, eat.
Then the table was cleaned, the teeth were brushed, pajamas were found, and it was time for a story!

HA! If I had a teenager, this is what meal times would sound like at my house. I spend a lot of time ignoring Jake not eating, because it makes me want to scream.
Too Funny!
Ah, too true!! This is absolutely our family.... what will it sound like in a year or two tho? hmm...
I love the "Morgan eat" because that is exactly how Joaquin sounds every meal. Right now his target is Josh (he hasn't grown very much in the last month - but he should because he is a boy, darn it!) I have to remind myself that all of my children grow eventually - but it's mostly from force feeding until they're in 2nd grade.
I'm so glad to know that you have intelligent dinner converstions like we do. I thought we wre the only ones around who were so eloquent. What a crazy fun stage of life we are all in.
