Don't forget dinner...
No elbows on the table.
No talking unless spoken to by an adult.
Mother was always served first.
Three of us rotated who would clear and clean, wash, dry and put away the dishes.
Permission to leave the table.

In addition to the above:

Everybody folded their hands, and the youngest (me) said grace;
Don't talk with your mouth full;
Finish what's in your mouth before taking another bite;
Don't take large bites;
Chew your food well before swallowing;
Don't drink with food in your mouth;
If you're not eating, put your hands in your lap;
Sit up straight;
"May I please be excused"

I had to sit to the left of my father-he at the head of the table, me on the side at the corner. Any abberation from expected behavior was corrected with a "bop" on the head. That may not sound like much, but he was a Golden Gloves boxer and would have on his VMI class ring, so I would never see it coming. When it did, the tears would practically spurt out of my eyes.
Needless to say, we all had good manners.

"Don't take large bites;--------"

One time, my Mother said to my older brother ----"Another bite like that, and you'll leave the table!" My brother answered----"Another bite like that, and I'll be through!" LOL!

Another couple or so table manner: Don't chew with your mouth open; don't play with your food; use your fork, not your fingers --------and never forget the guilt of all the starving children in China, Europe, or the world!
