Eat with your fingers!

Note: This marks the third installment of Things I Never Expected to Say to My Kids.*

Dearest darling Joseph decided one day that eating with his fingers, a childlike, yet acceptable thing to do given his age, was too grown-up for him.

So he dived in to his pasta directly with his face.

You’ll notice the lack of red sauce. This momma’s no fool. The Parmesan cheese was messy enough.

What do you eat, other than fruit and snacks, with your fingers and/or face? Licking out the ice cream bowl counts. I promise not to tell your mother.
