We are known for our many antics as well. It would be amazing and involve party hats. To note we may also end up a cautionary tale on some A&E special but that could really help out career wise I feel like my family and your family should have a huge dinner.

The other night I decided not to initiate any conversation - just to see what would happen. (Okay...so I was feeling pissy.) Sure enough. Absolute silence for the ENTIRE meal. Not exactly what I grew up with. My dad and I had some awesome political...ahem...discussions from a very early age. Hubby, on the other hand, grew up as one of twin boys in the middle of six sisters. Meal times were ALL about getting food before someone else gobbled it. Interesting to note how different families can be. Isn't it? Sure beats quiet grunting and chewing. The other night I decided not to initiate any conversation – just to see what would happen.
