Out of the Mouths . . .

A few nights back I made some chicken dumpling things. Jonah had already eaten something else since he was "starving" and couldn't wait any longer.  Danny had almost finished his dinner when  . . .

Jonah: I want some, Daddy.

Daddy: Okay, here are two bites.  (Cuts two bites and puts them on Jonah's plate.)

Jonah: I need a fork, Daddy.

Daddy: No, just use your fingers.

Jonah: No, Daddy.  I need a fork.

Daddy: (Puts one of the bites on his fork and gives it to Jonah.)

Jonah: (Takes the fork from Danny and points to the food left on Danny's plate) You can use your fingers.

A short time later Jonah asks for some tea.  Danny told him he couldn't have any.  Jonah's reply?  "Daddy, you can share!"

At least he is listening!
