Mind Your Manners
On Wednesday, I was eating an early Christmas meal with Ks extended family. Her cousin was using her pressed on fingernails to steady chicken dumplings in her soup before cutting them with her spoon. As gruesome as it was, I felt compelled to watch as she'd dip her fake fingernail, over and over again, into her soup.
Last year, G was confronted by the same sort of awe/fascination at a lack of table manners last year as her brother-in-law used his fingers to steady rice on his fork.
Etiquette needn't be so complicated, just chew with your mouth closed and use your utensils. If you're at wits end, you can always get help.
