In OUR house, manners were enforced. No elbows on the table, napkin in the lap (if linen only), grace before meals etc. Only one other rule was enforced... you could not eat TOO FAST. If I were to finish my meal in what was perceived as too little a time period, I would be made to do Oink Oinks... essentially crawling on my hands and knees yelling "Oink Oink!". I carry this grudge until this day.
