Mysteries

Here's another one:  Why do people use placemats?  Is it supposed to be easier to clean the placemat than the table?  I can understand a tablecloth, but only if you have an ugly table.  If it's a nice table, don't you want to see it?  This all seems to be one step away from covering your furniture in plastic.

    I think it's a hold over from times when tablecloths and the finishes on tables were much more difficult to keep nice.

    Kendall, I think you're right. I officially boycott tablecloths and doilies. I have to reserve the right to use placemats, though, since my daughter seems to enjoy them and we started a collection of plastic placemats for her before I realized how inconvenient they are.
