What Did You Say?

As some of you know, Evelyn is always testing her limits. She knows where they are, but she constantly needs to check to see if they're really still there. Today's lunch episode is a perfect example.

Evelyn had stuffed an entire slice of apple in her mouth and was chewing it. Then she tried to say something to me. I reminded her that she shouldn't talk with her mouth full. Less than a minute later, Evelyn started talking again (with her mouth still full of apple). This time I issued a warning, reminding her that if she talked again with food in her mouth she would go to the naughty spot. Evelyn looked me square in the eye (with a twinkle in hers) and said, "What did you say?" Like I said, always testing.

By the way, her last comment (with mouth full of food) did, indeed, land her in the naughty spot.
