How are your table manners?

Are you a tidy eater? Are you particular about the orientation of your plate and the food on it? Do you put a napkin in your lap? Elbows on the table? Do you need a bib?

I always manage to get crumbs on my shirt or drop something on its way to my mouth. 🙄

I never spill my food unless I'm wearing a white shirt and I'm eating either bbq or Mexican food. No matter how careful I am it never fails. But let me wear something I don't care if it gets a stain and I can flip my food in the air (I don't but) and it will fall on the plate instead of my chest. I guess I should mention my girls are very large and so there is a greater distance between my mouth and the plate than is normal.

@katielass I worked with a woman who routinely lost her earring only to find it resting on the girls.

@xixgun I have occasionally lost things in there. Spare change, necklaces, food. lol

I can relate to food messiness and staining. My clothes are always stained.

@greenmountaingal I'm thinking of getting a big bib.
