A few days ago, Superman decided he really wanted to eat his lunch in an empty laundry basket which was on the floor (I had been folding laundry earlier in the day).
Now, I do try to teach my children good table manners, that we all sit down together at the table, we stay in our chairs, we have nice table conversations... you know, stuff like that. But I also knew that his enthusiasm for dining en basket would probably lead to a clean plate.
Yes, parenting involves making choices. On this particular day I decided to pick nutrition over manners.
