Amen! Some peeps reading this may think that meals weren't very enjoyable at your house and mine, but they would be wrong. As soon as manners become second-nature everyone at the table has a wonderful time: Laughing, telling stories, just having fun. Yes, you can have manners and fun at the same time.
