Usually the boys try to negotiate how much they have to eat before being excused. Sometimes they’ve eaten most of their dinner and it’s just a matter of eating one or two bites. Tonight, Marco didn’t eat hardly anything, while Adan had already eaten two servings. So Marco starts his negotiations, here’s how it played out:
Marco: “How many bites do I have to take? one?”
Liz: “Um, it’s more like ten.”
Marco: “No, two?”
Me: “How about eleven?”
Marco: “Ok”
And he ate eleven bites
