Alright...now I am confused...I honestly did not think this was a topic that would start a fight!
Seriously...this was a debate the family had...apparently we are ALL right as it can go one way or the other depending on the circumstances.
I will go with the advice of Red....Mom's choice doesn't matter...depends on whatever the teacher of the moment wants....
As adults I guess we choose whatever we want....
Thank you all for your advice and wisdom....that is all I was looking for!! No arguing!! PLEASE!! Just friendly opinions!
