Mommy Doesn't Make Idle Threats

We've been having a hard time getting Amanda to use good table manners (ie using a spoon and fork) and the other night I'd had enough. I told her that if she didn't start using her fork to eat her noodles then I was going to duct tape it to her hand. Well, I guess she needed a little reminder that I don't bluff.

She actually found the whole ordeal kind of fun. But since then she's been doing a better job with her utensils so I guess I made my point.
