Manners

Sometimes I feel it's silly what I have to remind the kids to do or not do.  I've said certain things so many times that surely it's stuck in their heads by now.  But no.  Take table manners, for instance.  They should know the rules about elbows, and napkins, and passing gas, and yet reminders are still needed.  They've worn me down and now one of the rules is, if you have to burp then do it with your mouth closed.  Maddie "tooted" at the table loudly, but then grinned and said, "I had my mouth shut!"

She thought she was pretty hilarious.
