Good dinners with great people

As an only child and a latchkey kid it was hard for me to understand the importance of a great "sit down and shut up,...so.....what kind of day day did you have"...... dinner!?!???'..... My wife grew up with 5 younger siblings and loves it... And after 14 amazing years with her and of corse her great.... Big itilan famliy I've never looked back no matter if it's a good or bad day with her I would never give A single one back!
