I cannot stand listening to people eat. You’d be surprised how many people can’t close their mouths when they eat and they make the most disgusting noises. I used to sit near a guy and I’d have to jam my headphones into my ears just to keep from getting sick. Sounded like hippos chewing taffy while sloshing around in the mud. Gross.

The one time I don’t much mind it is when the kids eat spaghetti. Andrew and I have gone to Briggs Corner a few times because he loves their spaghetti and meatballs. We went tonight to celebrate Allison’s birthday, belatedly. She and I split a surf and turf dinner that was pretty tasty. We all split some wings which worked out great because Eva and I eat the drumsticks and Allison and Andrew like the wings. 8 wings split down the middle, perfect. The kids split a plate of spaghetti and some meatballs. Andrew is getting the hang of slurping up the strands of spaghetti and right now, it is cute. He kept taking big piles of the spaghetti and saying, “Oh this is way too much” and then taking a huge bite. We did get some laughter from his little antics. He’s a funny kid.
