At Least They Were Sharing....

Manners are very important in our house. The importance of "please"and "thank you" are reiterated constantly to those among the children who can speak, so when I heard the following conversation between the oldest two, I quickly went to positively affirm their outstanding choices....
           S: "Can I have some, please?"
           M: "Yep."
           S: "Thank you, Micah."
           M: "'Come. ("You're welcome" for those of you who do not speak two year old.)"
What I didn't realize until I rounded the corner, was that the conversation about a baggie full of Golden Grahams was playing out in the bathroom, while, how shall put this delicately, Samuel was "using the facilities."  I wasn't sure if I should praise their "table manners" or point out that eating while using the bathroom was perhaps not the cleanest option.  I opted for both, although I don't think it came across very seriously as I was giggling the whole time.  Oh well, at least they were using their manners and sharing.
