A teaching moment on the ettiquette of food goes horribly wrong...
Last weekend I made a pumpkin soup - it was great, and of course we had lots left over! A couple of days later Alice made a beautiful Tuna Morney, and so consequently in the middle of the week we had more than enough left-overs for dinner. The following coversation occured between Master 4 (The X man), and me (Pappa)
Click the post title to see what Master 4 said...Pappa: What would you like for dinner? We have pumpkin soup and tuna morney. Which one would you like?
X-man: Both. I want both.
Pappa: Ok (said I, seeing a teaching moment in action.) We'll have the soup first, and then the tuna moreny.
X-man: No, I want both together. Both at the same time.
Pappa: Well, when we have soup and something else we always have the soup first and then the main course. That's the way its done.
X-Man: But its not main course... its...
Tuna Morney!
Didn't I feel put in my place!
