"Put it There!"

Approx 5:30pm on any given night:

Mom: "Jonathan, would you like some chicken?"

J: "Put it there!" (and points right down to the exact spot on the plate that he wants his chicken to be placed)

Dad: "Yoni, would you like some rice?"

J: "Put it there!" (again, pointing to the exact location the rice should go).

Mom: "Yoni, would you like some asparagus?"

J: "Put it there! Right there!!!" (as I try to delicately roll the asparagus onto the plate so that they will reach their final destination with utmost accuracy)

J: "Noooo!!! No there! Put it THERE!" (showing me the error of my way)

[playing a game of "Shuffle the Asparagus"]
Mom: "Here you go...is this better?"

J: "Yup. Want sauce. right there!"

And so, ladies and gentlemen, here is the perfectly balanced plate with all the food items exactly where they should be:

Nice to see that he already knows exactly what he wants. What a funny entry!

He continues to be an excellent eater apparently and knows what he wants where. That's good in life, to know what you want!!
And Sylvie seems to follow in his footsteps - she looks gorgeous. And they look so alike, just like brother and sister only more so!!
As per usual, Love Savta Shulamit

I am still looking for the asparagus...
It shows that Yoni follows a long line of Yekes.
Love.
