Yes. When she was about 9, I guess.

Long story short, I was showing off for the woman who is now my wife and
The Kid was there. I was doing all sorts of professional culinary
showoff stunts and finally plated dinner. I garnished it with a sprinkle
of caviar.

The Kid tastes and wrinkles her nose. Says, "Daddy, I don't like caviar
this way..." *This* way..." My aristocratic daughter... Cracked me up.

I spit a lot of food all over my wife to be.
