Lessons From Gracie

Last night Gracie told me that when she was at lunch that day one of the other girls was eating and talking with her mouth full. Gracie said, "I told her that my Clifford book said that you shouldn't talk with your mouth full." I asked her if it was a little girl or a big girl. Gracie said, "It was a big girl. She's one of my teachers." I about died when she told me that she had given one of her teachers a lesson on proper eating etiquette. I was scared to ask, but I asked Gracie, "What did your teacher say when you told her that she shouldn't be talking with her mouth full?" Gracie said, "She told me that she knew she shouldn't be talking with her mouth full, but she was." I asked Gracie if her teacher apologized for being rude and Gracie said, "I think so, but I don't know." So if anyone out there is planning on eating a meal with us anytime soon, watch out. We have the etiquette police in our home, and she's not intimidated by anyone. You could be the next one corrected by a three year old!
