That explains why my step son wipe off his fork between eating each item on his plate. Apparently me husband used to do the same as a child. He never told his son he did that, he just did that.

As a wife, I need to know why Husband scrapes the fork with his teeth to remove the vegetables and mashed potatoes but NOT the meat?

It sets my teeth on edge and I have to turn my hearing aids off so I can't hear it or I think I just may yank the fork out of his hand and tell him NO TEETH- USE YOUR LIPS.

Also, in his family they slurp and smack when they eat. ARGH! Close your mouth when you chew. It is my understanding that this may be the preferred way to eat in some cultures-to show that you are enjoying the food, but Hubby and family are White American back to Plymouth Rock. They don't have sinus problems, or in other words, they are able to breathe just fine with their mouths closed.

At least I am blessed with wearing two hearing aids that when turned off, they are effective ear plugs.

I need to why young men where pants that hang below their bums.

I need to know why some women wear short, transparent dresses with poorly fitted underpants underneath to the REAL SL games.

And I need to know why getting a smaller purse doesn't prevent me from losing my cell phone in the abyss.
