Table manners

On Saturday we were having lunch at home and our daughter was eating food with her fingers when she ought to have been using her fork. My husband reminded her to use her fork, keep her napkin in her lap, sit up, etc. etc. (we go through this at every meal). She grudgingly did as she was told, but after a brief silence, piped up and said, "you know, well-behaved women rarely make history."
I nearly fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard.
When we recovered, we told her that phrase unfortunately doesn't apply to table manners.
