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?

Ah, that sucks. I don't pray before I eat dinner...=/ One time, I went to a youth group thing at my friend's church, and we all were supposed to make some sort of prayer....it felt really weird, and I didn't know what to say, cause I'm not Christian or anything. ><

Yes, I pray before my meals. At school, I forget to. Or maybe it's because I feel embarrassed. I should start praying before meals in school too..haha.

Basically only for supper when I'm at home.
Not for lunch or breakfast or if I'm anywhere else. |

I don't pray when I eat unless I'm at a family gathering or a party. I do pray at night when I lie down though.

Nope, I've never done that. That's pretty embarrassing though. Haha. When I eat at a friends house, I usually wait till they start eating first, then I'll eat too.

You should've ask your friend if they pray before they eat, so you can be informed. Or you should've waited for your friend's family to start. That happened to me before. I felt so embarrassed. Anyway, my family and I only pray before dinner or supper.

our family isn't religious, so we basically dig in. but some of my other friends' families do pray before eating, so I always wait until someone starts eating, then I follow along=)

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.
