Tell me your name and I'll make an exception.
Otherwise...you'll have to have dinner at the kid's table with the rest of
them!

<American Thanksgiving reference; when large extended families get together
to eat at Thanksgiving, there's often a "grown-ups" table (the main table)
and a "kids" table, which is generally smaller to better fit the children
and has chairs to match (a lot of times it's merely a folding card table
though). Usually sometime during the teen years people graduate up to the
grown-ups table, usually but not always after some elderly member of the
family passes on. It's seen as a privilege, almost a rite of passage into
adulthood in some families.>
PS: Gurth, didn't you recently have both "Queen's Day" and Election Day?
Did you vote? Did you get a can of Grolsch with the national anthem
printed on them? Just curious.
