Out of the mouths of babes...

Re: Re: Out of the mouths of babes...

All this "out of the mouth of babes" stuff........I must be going wrong somewhere.
At the table this evening for dinner, the 8 year old smothered his dinner in tomato sauce (looked like he had slaughtered a pig by the time he,d finished ) and just complained about the 6 year old being slow. The 6 year old just pushed the food around his plate saying he wasn,t hungry(can,t really blame him......my wifes cooking reminds me of Wendy Craig in Butterflies). The 4 year old took great delight in "accidentally" letting the food fall off her fork onto the floor, and the nearly 1 year old (who is teething and has a cold.....with snot running down her nose into her mouth and a green bogey hanging from her left nostril, suspiciously similar to the over cooked brocolli on my plate) just looked bemused by the whole thing and shouts some incoherrant nonsense.
All in all, dinner lasted about 45 minutes and apart from me refereeing the odd spat and argument between them, I can,t remember one endearing comment.

One of the funniest posts i've seen on here in a while
