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?

um...not me cause it's not really a mandatory ritual? not sure if it would be the right word to describe it.

Nope, not even during thanksgiving or any of those special holidays. My family does and all that but all I do is sit there put my head down and wait for the blabbering to be over so that I can start eating.
