Follow-Through

Some way-too-big bites at dinner prompted a reproof that "If you have to angle your head all around to get the food into your mouth, it's too big of a bite."

Which launched a smattering of reminders from around the table:

"If it smears food all over your lips, it's too big of a bite."
"If your food hits your face, it's too big of a bite."
"If your cheek bulges out when you chew, it's too big of a bite."
"If you can only chew it with your mouth open, it's too big of a bite."
"If food is partially hanging out of your mouth when you take the fork away, it's too big of a bite."
"If you have to unhinge your jaw like a snake to get it in, it's too big of a bite."

Naturally, they all continued to do these things but at least they know their material.

  1. u should do the same demonstration to them as u did to me and the bro years ago, but then again it might back fire and then they will do it all the time. we were more obedient, i think, so we got the hint.
