There’s a good reason why I don’t like it, cause it’s never like the movies where you have good conversation or stuff like that. I mean I would rather just take it to my room and be alone, that way you avoid the fighting and potential trip to the hospital due to one of the brothers deciding to throw a plate at the other brother for making fun of the brother.

But I have a really good example for exactly why I don’t like dining at the table. Take tonight, I get everything ready and everything clean and waiting for my family to come home. Well they come rushing in and started complaining about everything. First it was about how there wasn’t enough forks because I could only wash four since there was only four in the kitchen and we needed five. So mom starts moving the dishes all around the sink trying to find a fork. My brother finally goes and gets one that he left in his room so they could wash it. Second, my smallest brother started complaining about why the spaghetti wasn’t drained, even though the spaghetti never gets drained. Third, they complained about the bread not being done, but it was either it not be done or burnt since I had no idea when they would be home. Fourth was the mess which I had cleaned the table beforehand, but they decided to throw the cheese around which therefore made a mess. Fifth was the fact that it was hot, but what did they expect? I mean I had to use the stove to cook and that creates heat. Sixth, was when the bread got done and I put it on the table and I said it was hot, they complained that it was hot, and I was like duh. After that I went to my room and stayed there.

After my dad and smallest brother left, my mom told me to come to her room, so I did. She started complaining about how I ruined dinner and I was like “Ya’ll ruin dinner, ya’ll are the ones who complained about everything” and she was like “I told you to clean up before we came, there’s a mess on the table and on the kitchen floor and you could have at least had clean forks” and I was like “there wasn’t any forks to clean” and she’s like “you could have gone into your brother’s room, got them, and cleaned them” and I was like “then you would have complained about me going into my brother’s room” after that she said she didn’t want to see me the rest of the night. Well maybe the mom seeing me after dinner part didn’t happen, but the rest of it is true. I just wanted to put a little extra cause I like to be creative.

But seriously, all this could have been avoided if we could just take it and go to our rooms.
