Overheard
Wild Thing: Mom? You're not supposed to double dip!
Me: Um, yes. Normally. But this is a french dip sandwich. Thus, you DIP the sandwich. Since I can't eat it all in one bite, there's double dipping involved.
Wild Thing: OK, how 'bout you stop being French and start acting American? No double dipping.
OR, you could talk in a ree-dee-cue-lowse Freench ahck-scent for zee rest ov zee day.
French Dip Sandwich: $4.39

Simple, dear.
Explain that double-dipping is ok, if you have your OWN bowl to double-dip into. ;) If we didn't have that rule around here (and copious numbers of little bowls to use), then we would NEVER get "dippable" foods... LOL

hahahahaha... I am seriously cackling with laughter over this one! Does he listen to Rush Limbaugh or something??

"She" is hilarious.
Double dipping is one of the reasons we switched our allegiance to a local Mexican restaurant. They bring everyone their OWN bowls.
Keep on dippin', friend, but I do like the idea shared by mamabeck!
