You got it. Sitting and enjoying the silence as vrai suggested has been used and isn't a solution, it just gets worse. When she does speak during these episodes it's with total disrespect and I'm not going to ignore it any longer. I think the shock of, "OMG-mom didn't just smack me in public", was an eye opener. She was actually very pleasent the rest of the meal and evening.
