Overheard at the table
Mommy: Benjamin, come eat your chicken (after finally heating up a chicken pattie an hour later so the kid will eat)
Benjamin: No.
Mommy turns off TV.
Mommy: Benjamin, come eat your chicken. NOW.
Benjamin: *whine* No.
Mommy goes and forcefully gets Benjamin and carries him to the table while he is kicking and screaming and plunks him in his chair. Benjamin happily eats chicken. As he is finishing up then the next conversation begins.
