I know sitting down as a family at the dinner table is supposed to be good for everyone and healthier too. However, we seem to struggle with that concept in our household.
Last night Braden ate his usual 3 bites of food and stated that he was done. He even asked to be excused. But we told him no, asking him to just sit with us:
Us: “Just sit and enjoy the conversation for a while."
Braden: “But I don’t like conversation! What’s conversation?
Us: It’s when we talk with other people about things like how your day went and what you’re up to.”
Braden: “I don’t like conversation! And I’m not up to anything.”
After a while, we gave in and excused him from the ‘conversation.’ He proceeded to go into the living room and call back to us saying he was… yep, you guessed it… lonely.
