My father-in-law is hosting a dinner party for 10 guests. We're travelling 100 miles to attend and to help him pull it off. He's elderly but very social and this dinner means a lot to him. He told me tonight that he thinks we won't all fit around his table so he wants his son (my husband) and me to sit at a card table in the next room. I'm flabbergasted. I told him some other guests may grab plates and join us. He said "why would they do that "?I explained that seating 2 of us off by ourselves might be uncomfortable for other guests. I said his guest might prefer we all crowd around the table. What do you think?
