Oh Dear

This morning at breakfast, Geneva finished her very nutritious Eggo's and was still working on her sausage... she had gobbled up the rest of her syrup by dipping her fingers in it and licking them. I came out of the bathroom and saw this. Here is the exchange that followed:

Me: Geneva, can you please not eat like that; it's really bad manners and also it's gross.

Geneva: It's not a big deal mom.

Me: Actually, it is a big deal when you're three years old and you're eating like your one.

Geneva: I'm fourteen mom; I'm not a child.

Oh, my bad.
