The Table Family

posted on April 20, 2013

Have you been introduced to the Table family?
When I was in school, we were kept forcibly away from the family. The Table family was a strict no-no for us. Pronounce correctly. Stay away from the awful Table family.

Trends are changing, though. Many children have found their comfort zone with this delightfully extended family.

At lunch, they meet Veggie Table.
When their handwriting is not so good, but not so bad, their teacher introduces them to Axe-ep Table.
The mike stand has a secret name, I learned in school the other day. It is Adjus(t) Table.
You are invited to join the family too! If you have something to give and give it freely, you are Charee Table.
A child told me seriously about a naughty, uncontrolled child. “He is Ex-i Table.”

Maybe we should join the family. It sounds most Come-for Table.
