The Eat Of The Moment

(I’m talking to my mom and dad during dinner, when I notice that my dad and I have finished eating already. My mom is only halfway done.)

Me: “Wow, you eat slow.”

Mom: “I know I do! Oh, did I ever tell you?”

Me: “What?”

Mom: “When I was dating your father and he made dinner, he’d eat really quickly and leave just a little bite left.”

Me: “What for?”

Mom: “That way he would wait for me to finish eating, and we could finish eating together.”

Me: “Aww!”

(Dad rolls eyes and chuckles.)

Me: “Wow. Even back then he knew you were slow.”
