Buttered Lettuce

There was a little bit of Anthony's birthday cake left over, so last night after our usual supper snack I was in the kitchen cutting it up and Anya bounded in. "Cake! Cake!" she exclaimed happily.

I knew she hadn't eaten all of her food yet so I said, "Anya, do you still have some salad left? You can't have cake until your plate is all clean."

"Okay," she said, and zipped back around the corner into the dining room. I heard her brothers laughing, and about two seconds later she reappeared, beaming, clean plate in hand.

"Great," I thought, "she dumped her plate on the floor," and grabbed a handful of paper towels.

But no mess on the floor.

Instead, she'd climbed back into her seat and carefully scraped her salad into the popcorn bowl.
