GRAAAH. Taking forever

Little Fayoumis vs. mashed potato soup. (It goes by many names, but it's my potato/onion/turkey/sour cream thing.)

And he sits there looking at it for fifteen minutes, after I've told him we have to leave for his school at six. I come out and tell him to eat it; I come out two minutes later, and he's flagrantly not eating it, and is instead sitting with his feet up in the rolling chair from the sewing desk.

Not a word is spoken; I come up silently behind him, grasp him under the armpits, and smoothly lift him, and carry him over to the corner, where I deposit him.

Silence, absolute silence, for a few minutes. Then I tell him to come out of the corner and eat.

He does. It takes eleven minutes for him to finish the stew.

We're just about ready to leave now; he evidently did not register it the first time when I told him to put his shoes on. He somehow spaced that I meant now.
