Oh gosh, this had me laughing!!

Sara, you were at a wedding reception with KFC? Was it a "tongue in cheek" type thing? Or an accident/emergency? You are so classy, I can't picture you there....
My house was the same, no elbows, no TV on, the phone just rang and rang if someone dared call during the dinner hour, no singing (I don't know why that rule went into effect, I don't remember my siblings and I being big "singers" but we must have been??)
We had to ask to be excused, thank my mother for dinner, put our dish in the sink and push in our chair. That was a big one too, pushing in the chair...don't know where that came from....Actually now that I think about it, are these etiquette rules or were my parents a bit strict at the dinner table....?
