I truly enjoyed your article on ‘Ambiance’ in the jwr. It made me think of Dinner when I was very young. If I started a sentence Mother would say “just eat now and you can talk later.”
Mother was always jumping up from the table to either get something or heat something.
Being quiet at the table was the rule. Even my Dad didn’t talk. When he was finished he would push his plate away and leave the table.
My Dad was a carpenter and worked hard. But us kids didn’t know him very well except when he got mad.
Then there was a lot of loud cussing and we children ran to our bedroom.
It was different when I had children. My husband was a quiet, gentle man. I can’t remember (I”M 77) our meals but surely they were much different.
Thank you for a very important article.
