Shenandoah
A house in the valley
We watched Shenandoah. My son asked why the father would not let the war take the boys. We stayed on that. Authority is not a mood. It is who answers for the people at the table.

What the house did with it.
Not a feed, and not a pile of opinions. A note here says how a family used one measure on a real evening. The prompts are on the page, so a house knows what it could talk about before anyone writes. What you write stays on this device.
Your house’s answers stay in your house. They are not sent, sold, or read by the desk. A browser can forget them. Print the note if the table should keep it.
What a house can ask
Openings the desk set out
These are not posts from a crowd. They are the kind of sentence we will keep if a public hearth is opened later.

Little House on the Prairie
A kitchen table
We stopped when the plow broke. I asked who eats if Pa does not finish. The children named the job. That was the evening. We did not start another episode.
Piety · The desk set this out
The Prince of Egypt
After church
The song is already in the house. We watched the picture and asked whether a conscience can stop a prince. One child said the slaves were the point, not the chariot. We left it there.
Temperance · The desk set this out
Blue Mountain State
A father, late
A friend sent it as a joke. We did not put it on. I said the joke is a body, and a body is not a punch line in this house. The score was the reason I could say it in one breath.
Courage · The desk set this out
A quiet refusal
Two parents
We are trying to mark courage when nobody throws a punch. Staying. Saying no to a show the other children have seen. If your house has a sentence for that, we want the sentence, not the speech.
