Comfort zone

My good friend's father was the political anchor for CBS News in Los Angeles when I was invited to dinner at their house. I was an unsophisticated young hippy who rarely wore shoes. Confronted with an array of forks and spoons at my place setting I sat immobilized.
My friend's mother looked over the rim of her wine glass and asked, "Would you be more comfortable in another room?"
