I felt really bad the other day when I went to my friends house and her mother offered me dinner. Well when i got to the table i picked up the fork and started eating...
 . Everyone looked at me and her mother told me that it was rude... i felt really bad because i didnt know why and then she told me to put the fork down and pray. Then her dad started to say a prayer. I was like omg i'm such an idiot. I wasn't used to praying before each dinner. I only pary on thanksgiving or christmas...how many of you actually pray before eating dinner?

When I dine at my aunt's house, I bow my head out of respect as her family give thanks/pray before dinner. Any other time, I simply "welcome" older people to the food first. It's tradition.
