I believe Garfield had it right.

I believe that the answer to life is indeed somewhere to be found on the dinner table. Its not a box of chocolates, its not a plate of lasagna, and its not a ferrari (though how that constitutes something on the dinner table...you might want to sue someone) but I'm fairly certain you can find it at the dinner table. You can also find it on your street (maybe the ferrari is there?) or in your school, or your workplace, or your best friend. Maybe its in a pen you bought, or something you want, or on your bestfriend's wall. Maybe you already know it, or maybe its still out there waiting for you.

I believe, however, it is at my dinner table. I think this would be an important time to mention that I don't actually own a table of any kind at the moment. In fact, I hardly own anything but a job. Technically, that was given to me, so I don't own that either.
I also believe anyone can find their answer to life at the dinner table.

To some, the answer of life can be found in prayer. It lies within God and the salvation that shall come in your devotion to his, and his son's, words and teachings. Is not the cornerstone of nearly every dinner a prayer before the meal?
To others, the answer is in prosperity. It lies in success or at least the ability to provide for oneself, if not others. Is not dinner the one meal we all try to have, and usually, the largest of our meals in the day?
To some others still, it is about family. The dinner table, although not sacred, is still considered oe of the few remaining family times in modern society.

When I grow up, I know not what I want in a house, or how large my family should be. I don't know what I wish to do until I die or who I will spend the rest of my life with.
However, I want a dinner table large enough to share dinner with my family every night, or at least realistically once a week. Or on weekends. Or just weekdays.
I want to do that so that I may stay close to my family.
That way I don't turn out like my family.
