Ready and Waiting!

Here's the scene when our dinner is in the works......

What's taking so long?!

Both boys take up camp under my stool as they know I am the softer touch. They will stay there, working their best "I'm starving" looks until I tell them "All Gone!". On hearing those words, they immediately get up and move to John's stool. He's a much slower eater than I am, so they start working him next. Hope Springs Eternal when it comes to begging!
