Two Bites
Annie was preparing to leave the table without finishing the food on her plate. Usually I don’t force her to finish everything, but so that I maintain the illusion that I have control of the situation, I make her eat a few more bites before she leaves.
The conversation went like this:
“Daddy, I’m done”
“OK, but first…”
“Annie eats 2 bites”
“OK, Annie, take two more bites and then you can be excused.”
“No Daddy, I already did. I already took two more bites.”
Although it was cute, I think by the time she said it she realized that it wouldn’t work. So she took her two more bites and was off.
