I was busy making dinner a couple nights ago. I was just finishing up and I asked my dear, sweet, youngest daughter, Tatum, to get forks out for everyone. As with most silverware sets, there are 2 sizes of forks (and spoons). Just out of habit, I usually grab the smaller forks for the kids because they have smaller hands and the bigger forks for Chris and I. But we have never said it out loud that kids get small forks and we get big forks because it honestly really doesn't matter to anyone--or so I thought!
Well little Miss Tatum was in a sassy mood apparently. She got the forks like I asked and put them on the table but then turned to me and said,
"Mom....I got you a SMALL fork. So deal with it."
WHAT?! How old does she think she is?! I probably shouldn't have laughed but I did and now it's our family joke. Now everything is, "I'm going to the store...so DEAL with it." "It's time for bed...so DEAL with it!" Can't wait until this girl is a teenager! Heaven help me:)
