Wait until you finish eating

Charles is away on a conference so some of our neighbours invited me and the boys around for dinner. Jack was a non-stop talking machine during dinner - talk about nightly entertainment, whether we wanted it or not. Repeatedly I had to tell him to wait until he was done chewing/eating to talk. Then when he was done completely with dinner he announced, 'I'm done. Now I don't have to wait to talk'. I think his desire to talk may have been the impetus for being done. I am sure my parents think this sounds exactly like his mother 28 years ago.

Before I read the last sentence, I thought "Oh my goodness he is a repeat of his mother." Nonstop talking I can understand. His mother even gave up naps in the car on long trips when all her siblings were snoozing so she could talk. Does the old saying what goes around comes around apply here?
