In the space of five minutes, while eating a dinner of chicken, stuffing and grapes:

Child One: Mommy, can I have more chicken?

Mommy, glancing at plate: After you eat your stuffing and grapes, honey.

Child One reluctantly begins picking at stuffing and grapes.

Child Two: Mommy, can I have more stuffing?

Mommy, glancing at place: After you eat your chicken and grapes.

Child Two reluctantly begins picking at chicken and grapes.

Child Three: Mommy, can I have more grapes?

Mommy, raising eyebrows but not bothering to glance at plate: After you eat your chicken and stuffing!

Child Three reluctantly begins picking at chicken and stuffing.

Mommy checks clock to see how far off bedtime is.

*snort* Now why didn’t they just sneak a trade behind your back?

Just wait until they start plotting in tandem.

I know things can be frustrating for mothers…
But I can’t help but smile about all of the things they will eventually plot. You’ll miss grapes, chicken, & stuffing. :)

They are plotting. You know they are.

At least yours will eat! My oldest fights about eating almost everything!! Supper time is a huge struggle, and I absolutely hate it, but I refuse to be a short order cook!

I am all too familiar with this scene. Yes indeed.

You say “child one, child two, child three”, however that scene only changes slightly when it is “teen one, teen two, teen three, and teen four”. Welcome to my world. It expands beyond dinner. Yikes!
