Fetched daughter home from uni today so now we have both her and her brother back. Meal time conversation is quite a high level now because not only does he rabbit on about physics problems, dilemmas and things that have no meaning to me, but since they have little meaning or interest to her either, she fights back - verbally. This isn't too easy as he is highly articulate. However, they now have a common interest in maths. He needs maths for his physics. She loves maths for the sake of it, and the discipline suits her perfectionist mind. So our first evening meal included a lot of mathematical discussion.
Don't ask me about what - I think it was group theory, but it might have been something Hamiltonian. Either way, it's better than arguing who sits where, how much room the other takes, or who has the last piece of scrumptious whatever.
