14. We eat dinner together with our families ...

You're all a bunch of damn yankees!

I cannot believe that in over 100 posts no one pointed out that in the South, Dinner is served at around noon. This should be "We eat Supper together with our families". Only a bunch of yankess would call supper, dinner.

:)

There it is. I've argued this point with my wife for YEARS. She still insists on calling the evening meal 'dinner'.

I found someone who calls the noon-time meal "dinner." My Mom's family is originally from the south (way back). We've always done holiday dinners around noon. We also had supper. When I told my wife we were having Thanksgiving dinner at 1:00, she said, "That's lunch. Dinner is in the evening." I explained to her that's how we've always done it...
