Another conversation from our dinner table:
Me (to Boy): Please stop trying to fling your green beans into Daddy's glass.
Boy: OK.
Me (to Boy): Please stop tapping your fork on the side of your plate.
Boy: OK.
Me (to Boy): Please don't lean back in the chair like that.
Boy: OK.
Me (to Boy): Please stop trying to fling your green beans into MY glass.
Boy: OK. Hey, do you realize that in almost exactly TWO months, I can get my Learners Permit?
Man: Hey, that's right!
Me: Heaven help us all.
