I don't know what the other parents must have thought when I dropped their kids off later that day. It cracks me up every time I think of it.

Today, I got that in regards to the quilting I was doing.
I was quilting and hadn't thought to eat all day. I was reminded when I started to get dizzy. So, I got up to get some low fat frozen yogurt to keep in my dieting and to stave off the hot flashes that have plagued me all morning. Two minutes later, my 8 year old DD came in for some help and saw me sucking on a semi-frozen spoon. She looked around and saw the semi-finished quilt only about 5 feet from me. She looked at me sternly and said, "But I thought we weren't supposed to bring food within 10 feet of the quilts or the sewing machine!" :lol: Whooops!

That's wonderful that she has been paying attention to what you say. You should be so proud. You did tell her that she was absolutely right didn't you? LOL
PS. As quilters we only need two things in life. Fabric and food occasionly. Remember to take time to eat. Low blood sugar is dangerous.
