Clean Plate

(Eating at a BBQ restaurant)

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Can we go now?”

Me: “I’m almost done.”

LMT: “You don’t have to eat all of it, you know.”

Me: “Yes… yes I do.”

Snicker

Sometimes I leave a Snickers bar in my car so I can eat it in an emergency.

And by “emergency”, I mean the moment I remember there is a Snickers bar in my car.

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Show me a picture of me on your phone.”

Me: “Here, I’ve got Instagram open so let’s just look at my feed.”

LMT: “Why are there so many pictures of food?”

Me: “That’s just what I post.”

LMT: “You think about food too much.”
