No. Nope. That just isn't going to happen.

She's not as bad as my grandmother (At age seven I was sent to stand against the wall until all the "civilized" people had finished eating. After everyone was done and left I was allowed to sit back down and finish eating. My terrible crime? I rested my elbow on the table while reaching for my water glass.

Other offenses included not putting your fork down after every bite, not chewing your food a certain number of times, singing at the table.... you get the picture.
