piglet

Uncle Davey is home this week to do some work on one of the family houses. So of course Andy has been all over him like a piranha on a pork chop. Today Davey and Andy and I picked up lunch for ourselves and our mom (Meme) and brought it back to her kitchen.

Andy was hurriedly working on his giant pile of rice and beans. Davey set his plate down next to Andy's elbow and went in search of silverware. Andy promptly helped himself to Davey's meal and in particular went to work on the tortilla chips. When Davey came back and absent-mindedly picked up his plate Andy suddenly got very upset.

He threw his hands out to the side and said, "Oh dear! There goes my food! Davey took it away!"

It was mighty difficult to explain the exact nature of the situation to him. Parents and grandparents freely share whatever is on their plates with the little free loader. Davey obviously just doesn't get it.
