Etiquette Tip of the Week: Responsibility of the Dinner Guest

Your responsibility as a dinner guest in someone's home is not just to show up and eat the food. Your responsibility is to be a charming guest and keep up the conversation at the table...not the texting conversation under the table.  Scan newspapers and online news the day of the dinner party, to be up on current events. (So even if you are not a sports fan, know how well the hometown team is doing!)
