I never put my elbows on the table
I never leave the table until the meal is finished
I lift my food to my mouth
I never talk when my mouth is full
I cut my meat without disturbing my neighbors
I put my napkin on my lap
En viola! Now we know. If you don't mind a little shipping fee you can find these cute plates here.
Hope your summer was wonderful. Welcome back.

As a Frenchman, I can attest that the family meal became a bit of a ritual from a certain age onward. One major difference between France and Anglo-Saxon cultures: When they are not holding utensils, the French always place their hands on the table (at the edge -- not in the middle.)
One of my all-time favorite movies!
Good table manners, and the ability to get through entire afternoons without interim food... those Frenchkids are amazing indeed.
