At the lunch table today….
Mom: “I’m not going to cut up more pear for boys who don’t have table manners.”
Jaeger, moving from a belly-on-the-chair position to sitting up straight: “I have a table manner!”
Mom: “Oh no! Only one manner?!”
Hans: “I have two!”
Mom: laughter
Hans: “I have a sitting manner and a talking manner.”
Jaeger: “And I. I have two manners.”
Hans: “And Ilse has three! Can she have another pear? She has a sitting manner, a talking manner, and a squawking manner.”
