My mother says that I can't eat with a plate. She says I need to use a tray when I have lunch or dinner. Well, it's not my fault food occasionally misses my mouth or somehow flies off my plate and onto my place mat (sometimes outside the place mat). I really don't know how that happens. I think it happens only when my eagle-eyed mom and brother (one of them. The other two are in their own worlds) are around. Maybe I get so nervous at the thought of them watching me eat that my hand-mouth coordination goes a bit off-course.
