Question: Do you eat at the kitchen table or in the lounge room or other?

We eat at the table but tonight I was a rebel and ate in the lounge room.

My dining table (which takes up a quarter of the lounge room) is usually half covered in craft stuff and school stuff because there's nowhere else to put it, so there's room for a couple of people to sit at the other end. There's also the couch, where the Minipeelers usually sit for meals. Mr P lays on his bed (in the next room) and eats dinner on a tray. It sounds weird but we are all no more than a few metres from each other. I don't invite people over because I don't want people to see how I live.

Our big table is currently hosting a lego build, towels waiting to be folded and a tub of cake decorating stuff from me decorating my mother's birthday cake. There was still enough room for the three of us to eat dinner though.
