The Kitchen Table · Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Sharjah knows the McSkunkville way: keep your word, keep your receipts. These days, readers in Sharjah write to the town by the dozen, and United Arab Emirates is a long way from Highway 75 — the welcome isn't.

After the dishes and before the news, every kitchen table in McSkunkville hosts the same meeting: mother, father, two cups of coffee, and the kids away at college. Tuition math. The Sunday call. Whether the boy is eating and whether the girl's roommate situation resolved itself. It did. It always does, in McSkunkville.

The talk drifts — the Joneses' fight, the casino floor's new machines, whether Pest & Purity re-upped the No-Lice Guarantee (they did; they always do).

This is the room the whole universe is built to protect: clean home, clean fur, honest ledger, porch light on. The kids come home for the holidays and the table gets loud again. That is the entire point of the town.

Worldwide Access — The Kitchen Table greets readers in Sharjah and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
