What NOT to do at the table: A Lesson in good etiquette

Normally, we try to keep meal times somewhat civilized with an attempt at manners. No fake burping or farting, no spitting, keeping our hands to ourselves, no playing with our food, and other various etiquette related things. There are times though when it just isn't worth the fight but definitely worth the pictures.

Here's the lowdown on lunch today in picture format.

Here Z is done eating and is now making fake burping noises at his brothers persuasion. First rule broken...

 He looks over to see what brother is doing and begins doing the same. Second rule broken...

It stands!!! So exciting!!

 Here is IV starting to do what he does best. Pestering his brother. Third rule broken...

Ok, so this was kind of sweet. Until...

 Z started licking IV. I think this falls under the no spitting rule since it involves saliva. Forth rule broken...

 IV is back to his creation.

 Meticulously placing grape stems into his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

The finished product. 

He's an artist I tell ya.

I think we covered all our manners...it was worth it.
