If he doesn't have bread or some other food to wipe the plate clean he picks it up and licks it years ago he did this with the ice cream dish but now every dish has to be clean. I have to be quick and grab the dish before this starts. Anyone else have this happen?
Are you looking for advice on how to get him to stop? Always have bread available.
I would say, give him bread indeed. If I put bread on the table, mom will eat it and cannot finish what is on the plate.
