Yesterday, I had lunch with my three-year-old nephew and my parents. I brought my sandwich, and when I opened up the Tupperware and put it on the table, my nephew grabbed half my sandwich and took a bite.
"Hey!" I said. "What are you doing? You can't just take someone's sandwich off their plate like that."
"Well," he said, "here's the thing. I wanted your sandwich."
I held my ground, but it is very difficult to explain manners to a three-year-old who keeps saying, very solemnly, "Here's the thing."
