Behind Closed Doors

The other night while eating dinner, 

I was slightly disgusted at the way Kid was using her knife 

to shovel as much food as possible onto her fork.

"Jeez, what are you a Revolutionary War soldier eating in a tavern?"  

I said by way of reprimand.

Without blinking an eye, 

Kid raised her fist in the air and shouted out...

"Huzzah for George Washington!"

Then broke down into hysterical laughter.

I nearly spit out my food in honor of such

a perfect, well timed, brilliant comeback.
