We were having dinner the other night. As usual, I finished in about 4 minutes, John finished up in around 10, Sam came in a respectable third and we didn't think Tom would ever finish. Sam used to be the slow eater; agonizingly slow, but they seemed to have switched places as of late. I started tidying up the kitchen, John and the boys were talking. Tom still hadn't finished. Even after we'd cleaned up the entire kitchen, he was still poking around with his food.
Me, "Are you ever going to finish eating?"
Tom, "You guys don't have to sit here. You can go."
Me, "What? Are you kidding? With all the video games and rock music, having dinner together as a family is the only thing keeping you two out of juvie!!"
