The questions were all in the present tense. I can remember having
breakfast in bed as a kid. It was supposed to be some sort of treat, or
some sort of power trip. I remember toast crumbs getting into the bed and
being very uncomfortable to sleep in later that night. So, yes, I have
eaten a meal in bed.... more than 40 years ago.... so No, I do not eat in
bed.
