We always celebrated Holidays with close friends and their large extended family. At the end of Christmas dinner one of the boys flipped mashed potatoes off a spoon, across the table. Everyone laughed! The next week, we were invited to dinner at the home of the local school principal. I flipped mashed potatoes across the table and no one thought it was funny! Go figure!
