Spaghetti Fun

I enjoy the spaghetti fun. Spaghetti is just one of those dinners where I don't mind all the mess even though I am dining alone with four children. I must confess that I am tempted to sling some cooled spaghetti across the table at my offspring for the sake of harmless fun, but I don't. My middle two children normally display some pretty rotten table manners and wouldn't be able to differentiate when it is and isn't okay to act this way. At many mealtimes I just have to leave the room and tell them I can't bear to look and just let me know if anyone is choking. Unfortunately for my sophisticated eldest child, she still has to eat at the kids' table with those noodle-heads.
