On the table

There is one thing I don't understand; why isn't it legal to walk on the table when I want to? For instance when the table is full of tasty food...

Anyway, I have negotiated with my owner about using the chairs.

Oh no; it's only legal when scissors and combs and such torture instruments are served. That's when my interest for the table is at the lowest.

It took some time, but now it's legal. It helps to be consistent.
