Table Manners

My brother Ben is weird and horrible at the dinner table. Sometimes he's like a disgusting pig when he eats. He eats with his mouth open and talks with his mouth full. The food sloshes around it's HORRORFYING. I feel sorry for Thomas (he sits opposite Ben) Ben and I usually argue at the table. He calls me horrid names and I call him worse names back. This goes on until one of us can't think of anymore names. We.. I mean Ben usually gets growled by Dad before that can happen. I just giggle quietly.

Sometimes I think Ben's from Saturn or Mars or some unknown planet because he seems to have mayonnaise or bread with nearly EVERYTHING. Once we had mince pie for tea and Ben squished his piece of pie, put it on bread, squirted on mayonnaise, folded his bread and then actually ate it !!!!
