Family dinners sometimes require patience and restraint, never without robust debate masked as entertainment. Unfailingly, our plates were always full, and seconds were only requested for dessert.
At one particular dinner, we weren’t disappointed on all accounts; as the night progressed, the conversation was in full regalia until a preschooler interrupted.
“Kane, please don’t talk over your Aunty.”
Without a second thought, he replied, “But I didn’t; my voice went under the table and out the other side.”
His innocent yet humorous response left his father speechless. While the rest burst into raucous laughter and marvelled at his quick retort.
Life at No. 22 
Had to chuckle at the quick witted response

Though the cover photo was taken of a estate mansion in the UK. Siblings table is far more rustic 😊 xx

Reasonably, 5 of us and there’s 4 grandchildren, and Les’s side there’s 4 with 3 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren. Plus, a couple of cousins I’m close to. The table we used to congregate around was a rustic heavy wooden one my brother made not at all like the one pictured which was taken at an estate in UK.

Exactly, Anabel. The boy is now nearly 21 and happily still running rings around his Dad.

As the cliche goes, “Out of the mouths of babes”! Somehow it doesn’t come across quite as humorous from an adult.😅

He wasn’t trying to be cheeky/smart, just stating a fact and how quick he replied made it even funnier. Some kids can get away with it 🙂
