Shes real big on the "sunday best" thing

No mother, by you.

The summer and winter rug switch is a big deal in my mother's house

Only woman I've ever met who hosts traditional formal dinner parties.

It *really* sounds like you should mix up your forks. For your own good.

These totally fit the character! Except for the one about drinking before noon. Mallory would talk shit about NOT drinking before noon.

Read these in Mallory's voice without reading the title, assumed they were actually from Archer.

Resolve. But then again, I only have "year round" rugs. Not seasonal rugs. I must be messing up.

9 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

Technically, OP's mother didn't say "rugs." She could have been talking about people. In which case, your suggestion sounds a bit barbaric.

9 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 0

But seriously, they were Persian rugs. They get cleaned and stored every spring until fall, when they go back out again

My semi-grown up son came back from his first formal dinner, where he was actually complimented on his manners. He said I taught him well.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

That's really great, it is, but certain formalities seem unnecessary. Using the wrong fork is one of those.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Thanks, I was proud. At a wicked formal dinner different forks are used for different dishes, such as salad, fish, meat, etc. So are spoons.
