jampet: well, dinner with me and three techno-mad small boys was never going to be a two hour fest of conversation, witty repartee and cullinary appreciation!! 15 mins start to finish!! took me longer than that to peel the potatoes and veg. ah well, as said in the other thread- at least i had 3 healthy boys to talk to and share more than enough food with!! and i got to eat all the brussel sprouts ( for some that would be torture, for me- YUM!!
You should have insisted they eat all there veggies!
Than the meal would have taken so long they would be sleeping in there plates:)
On the other hand..how good is the converstion when all it would be is..Aww Mom do I have to? every ten seconds.
(only kidding I don't believe in force feeding)
