CHEY-ISM #5: Table Manners

Since my daughter was very young we took her to restaurants.  She has always been that kid who sits quietly with her parents and doesn't bother other diners.  Those of you that know me, do you expect anything less from MY kid?  I think not.  Now, table manners is a whole other thing.  I am constantly reminding her to take her elbows off the table or to eat with her mouth closed.  Drives me bonkers!

The other night Chey and I went out for dinner.  When Daddy's gone we go out a lot.  ;)  She was eating pasta with butter when I watched her put her fork down and start eating with her fingers.

Me: Nice fork!
Chey: Thank you.
Me: Where did you get it?
Chey: I got them from God.  
Me: (eye roll) That's nice.  Do you mind using the one the waitress gave you?
Chey: Yeah sure.  Whatever! (under her breath)
Me: I'm sorry, what did you say?
Chey: I said, yeah sure. Whatever you like.
Me: That's what I thought you said. Smart ass! (that last one I said under my breath)

She's very lucky we were in a public place!
