What's a kitchen table?

It's a place where life takes place.

It's  place where kids do homework and build model airplanes. It's where lunch is yaffled down so you can get back to whatever it is you're doing. 

The scratches and nicks on a kitchen table don't detract from it. They show that a real family has lived there and raised a family. Kitchen tables are where memories are made. They show character.

Some time ago a woman was talking about getting a new table when the last of the kids leave the house. I told her not to.

I told her for the first ten years you will enjoy the newness of the kitchen table but as the years pass she's going to regret throwing away the memories.

There's something special about a kitchen table.
