Hurry up! When I was a little girl Mom tells me I'd sit in my highchair with my fork in my hand and yell: "Eat, eat, eat!" Well, I remember a time when I had a grandchild about 9 months old by the name of Darcy. She had just come to America and her Mom and Dad invited us over to see her for the first time. Dinnertime came while we were there and I cannot tell you how amazed I was to see her eat! Mama couldn't shovel it into her mouth fast enough! Darcy would always have her mouth empty before Mom could get the spoon down into the baby food jar and back up to her. And it was always with special sound effects. She made sure Mom knew that she was needing yet another spoonful!

Do you still eat that way, Darcy?
