Here's what got me wondering: when we were kids, and when MY kids were kids, all family members ate all meals at the table. There probably were exceptions, but I don't remember them.

It's just the two of us, and the only time we sit down at the table and eat is at noon. We both stand at the counter and eat breakfast. We don't have a real supper/dinner, we just snack in the evening. Bob sits in his recliner in front of the TV, and I am usually at my computer AND in front of the TV.

Once in a blue moon, I'll sit at the table and snack, if I'm eating something sloppy or reading a magazine. Either way, we never eat breakfast or the "third meal" at the table. We're weird.
