LOL!!!!!!! I'm the same way! It drives me crazy when we get ready to sit down to a meal that I have worked hard to prepare and my husband has a plastic drink cup, the kids have cans or bottles and they could care less! I'm training them, slowly but surely. Helen already knows that I want matching glasses on the table and no plastic cups and no cans! Ha Ha!!! I'm the same way about silverware and plates, too. They need to all be the same kind!

To take it a step further, I also don't like to put ketchup, mustard, pickles, mayonaise, etc on the table in their containers. This is where my mother has rubbed off on me a lot. Even if we're eating burgers off of paper plates, I still want to put that stuff in a bowl first. I will admit that this is one thing that I do not push real hard on, though. I'm way outnumbered! Heck, if I can get them to set the table properly and learn to use a butter knife, I'll be happy!
