Something Rotten in the state of Etiquette

She can name different types of wine without any effort. She knows where your hands go while eating in several different countries. She can even give tips on how to dress, how to carry yourself and how to pronounce the word, "yes." But it seems that even Mom Nonnie herself has fallen victim to an out-of-date website and a domain name that needs to be renewed. (http://www.momnonnie.com)

This information was brought to the attention of the S&P crew because we had dinner with the new Regional Directors last night. They came into our formal setting with grim looks of confusion on their faces. Then they sat down at the table and began eating their entire roll at one time, using their salad fork to eat their steak, and the guy that is over the Kentucky district even began talking while his mouth was open! They said they tried going to Mom Nonnie's website before their meal with such an elite and dignified group as S&P. But the website failed them.

Indeed, all across America children and adults alike are in a state of shock and panic. The handy resources that were provided on Mom's website are now no longer available. Lemons are squirting in people's faces instead of in the ice tea. Food is being shoved into faces like there's no tomorrow. And no one holds their forks right anymore. Tragedy. Devastation. Pure and utter disaster!

But, we are confident that SigEp will find a new expert on etiquette if Mom's website does not return. After all we have a fearless leader in our Director of Volunteers. Maybe he can convince the third grade lunch room monitor that her opportunity for success is on the horizon.

Mom, we miss you and your website. Please come back.
