My brother Ronnie once told me, "Families that eat together, stay together." I firmly believe this. So every night, I rush home from work so I can sit at our small, rounded kitchen table with my family, John and Ashley.
Although the TV is on, we sit there in conversation trying not to laugh at the large portions and multiple sides John puts together for Ashley and me.
At each dinner meeting, John and I ask Ashley, "How was your day? What did you do today?" And everyday it's the same response, "I played." So innocent-like, she talks about each and every child in her class and blames everything including the good and bad on her best friend Bryson.
At each dinner meeting, John talks about the new bands sweeping through town always sure to say, "This is the week" as if he was an 8-year old boy waiting for Santa Claus to visit. In between conversation he asks me if I like dinner.
And me, I talk about the trips to the mall during lunch, the 3:00 run to starbucks with the BK team or the next project I'm planning. Sometimes I throw in "I think I'll workout tonight" as I stuff a large snicker-doodle cookie in my mouth. We both laugh.
These are reasons why I look forward to this dinner meeting with my family every night. It's where I find happiness and truly believe that families who eat together, stay together!
