1000 sounds of mealtime with children

1. Whining: "I don't like it; Lew is showing his food! I'm not hungry. This is gross. When I grow up I'm going to be a vegetarian!"

2. Asking: as soon as I sit down for "more," a drink, a cloth to clean up hands or a spill.

3. Smacking lips and slurping.

4. Me and my own nagging voice: "sit down! sit still. Eat with your mouth closed. Do I look like your slave? Your legs are not broken. Take your plates to the kitchen if you are done. I hear smacking lips!"

5. Words like Poop. Bum. Fart. Penis.

6. The Cat meowing.
