Manners

Today, I was making a snack for Troy after his nap. I was cutting up some turkey and cheese, which he was waiting impatiently for the entire time by standing next to me and pointing at the cutting board, whining. So to tide him over, I handed him a cube of cheese, which he promptly stuck into his mouth...the entire thing at once. I’m trying to instill good manners in him, so I said, “you’re welcome.” The cube of cheese was filling his whole mouth, so he had to try to slide it a little to the side of his mouth. And with his right cheek pooching out like a chipmunk, I received a garbled, “slthank hoo” in return. I couldn’t help but laugh. I expected him not to say anything or to at least finish his cheese first, but that works too.
