Of Candid Responses

A little while back, just before dinner, this exchange went on between the front and the back of the house.

Me: How's it going back there?
Ingrid:  Oh...not so well for me.  I'm still trying to fly.

In the car and some time after the stop at Jack-in-the-Box, Peter thought he would have a little fun at Nelly's expense.  "Oh, Nelly!  Didn't you save any sandwich for me?  Oh, Nelly, none at all for Daddy?  Not any?"  And Nelly, who must be told to take every single bite and never under any circumstances builds up any dinnertime momentum of her own, looked at him morosely and said, "I give up."

... And now that we discovered the rest of the sandwich in the back of the car, perhaps we understand better what she meant by "I give up."
