Somewhat of a New Pet Peeve

Cell phones at the dinner table; it shouldn't happen. I fought this one before, but its a good rule. Granted it is the 21st century and we have become accustomed to not letting a single red notification or ping go unchecked (I'm guilty of this), I think that all the social media and texts can wait for just half an hour or so. Family, friends, and significant others that are right in front of you are more important. Partake in real life conversation. Make a real life connection. Leave the phone elsewhere or on vibrate. You'll be doing yourself and those around you a favor.
