Table Manners

Entry for the Shortest Horror Story contest.

“Philip, how many times have I told you not to play with your food” his mother scolded.

“Yes, mother,” little Philip responded, pulling his hand back.  He picked up his fork and ate another bite.

“If you finish what is on your plate, then I’ll let you have a bowl of ice cream,” his mother told him getting up to wash her plate and put it in the drainer.

As she turned her back, Philip reached his tiny hand out and tweaked the man's nose again.
