he cut off your feet?

as we sat eating dinner three nights ago, methodically cutting meat for each of the kids, i recalled stories of my father cutting my meat. until i went away to college. soon after, i met mw, and he cut my meat. i began cutting my own meat about three years ago. it was very time consuming to wait as mw cut cw and aw's meat. so i started cutting my own. i even cut the kids'. sometimes. so i said, specifically to bw, "can you believe that daddy cut my meat? silly, huh?" he jumped down from his chair and hopped on one foot and said, "did you walk around like this when dad cut off your feet?" and i said, "what?" and he said, "you said dad cut off your feet. so how did you walk after he cut off your feet?" cw did his obnoxious, maniacal laugh. and so the rest of us joined in.
