Manners!

Table manners were always important in my house when we grew up.  We had to use our silverware the right way, we had to wait until everyone was sitting down before we could start serving ourselves and we had to "scrape, rinse and put" our dishes in the dishwasher after we were done.  Well, tonight after dinner Art got up while he was talking and just took his plate in to the kitchen.  I didn't even realize he'd done it until I was about to get up and saw his plate was gone.  My sister may be the only one who truly knows how happy this makes me.
