To do lists

I envy the kids. It's nice not to have a to do list - especially one which you will never finish checking off. This is "biting more than you can chew".

When the kids bite off more than they can chew, or, rather, when we feed them more than they want to chew, they just spit it all back out. I guess I can't really blame them, though it would be nice if they could at least put it into a napkin. Actually, they don't really "spit", which is good. They simply, and without warning, let the gob of partially chewed grub drop out of their mouths. This is "dropping the ball".
