Chris overheard at dinner

"Use your mouth for eating, not talking.
[giggling]
Or laughing.
[other giggling]
Or making your brother laugh."

"Stop looking at each other and eat."

"Get your feet off that chair.
The chair is not a toy.
Do I have to come sit on that chair between you guys so you won't play with it?
[sound of the chair being knocked back and forth]
[sound of Chris trying to sit threateningly in the chair]
Fine, now eat."

When Logan asked how much more he had to eat to earn some ice cream:
"Everything on your plate. No more of this 'how many bites stuff'...you've riled up Chris now, the big dog. You're not playing with Mom anymore! In fact, I'm gonna set this timer right here and you better start eating and finish up before the time runs out or you're not getting any ice cream.
[pause]
Don't choke."
