This was great, and I've copied it!
I am reminded of the first time my husband's youngest brother had a holiday meal with my family. My mother always believed in a groaning board, and my DH and I knew enough to eat just a little bit of everything. Poor Mark hadn't got the message and ended up on the floor, writhing. He's never lived it down!
