Write that down too

Dinner conversation with Eli tonight:

Eli: How many more bites do I need Mom?

Me: You need 5 more GOOD bites.

E: When I have kids, I won't care if they have small or big bites.  It won't matter.

M: I'm going to write that down and remind you of that when I come to visit you and my grandkids.  I will tell them that their daddy once said that it didn't matter how good their bites were.  They could have 5 more tiny bites if they wanted.

E: Well it won't matter, and you're just kidding.

M: No, I really am going to write that down so I can remind you when you're a daddy.

E:  Well, you really are just kidding, so write that down too.
