Sigh, plates

It would be really nice if The Boy understood about plates.

If he's really hungry then he'll eat food off one happily but once the initial hunger is gone or if he has a particularly chewy mouthful and he needs to kill time then over goes the plate. After that, the plate, with all the food still underneath it is swept up and down the table before being sent over the edge in what seems to be a particularly enjoyable two handed shove.

Ugh.
