I had three of my kids and two of my Grand children over thanksgiving. I had a nice time.

When I was a kid when uncle tony came over. None of the kids were allowed to talk at the main table. We called it the uncle tony rule.

He did not want to hear kids bullshit while he was eating. What an uncle he was.

When my kids were little if they talked to much at the dinner table I would evoke the uncle tony rule.

I was telling them a story yestarday my sons say is it the uncle tony rule? I say no then I started to talk about what old Italians did at the table to make more room to eat. That was open up their pants. They heard that too.
