what about bob?

I hope you all had a great time remembering Jesus' death and celebrating His resurrection over the weekend. We sure did. It's great when you have family to share these special holidays with.

While we were having Easter dinner at James' aunt and uncle's house, we were having a discussion on napkins. The question was: what do you do with your napkin when you are finished eating? While there were varying opinions, I went home and looked it up in my handy etiquette guide/dictionary.

Here is the answer:
Put your napkin to the left side of your plate when the meal ends or whenever you excuse yourself form the table. Instead of folding or crumpling the napkin, just leave it in loose folds that keep any soiled parts out of sight. At the end of the meal, leave your napkin to the left or, if your plate has been removed, in the center of the place setting.

Do YOU have any etiquette questions that you were always curious about and want an answer to? Then write to bob, and I will gladly get back to you with an answer!
