And what you would have the parents do? Gag the child?
Children are people too. And they sometimes have loud voices. It’s not their fault, they were designed that way. The world around them is fascinating. Everything they discover is exciting for them. They don’t know how to contain their excitement.
I agree with Cher, if you can’t handle it, stay home, or better yet, don’t go to “Family Restaurants”.
Wring,
That is WAY too funny! ROFL!
I have two… one of which is so embarrassing, I’m not sure I can post about it, being sorta new still and all…
Here’s the “safer” one: My first child was a wild-child. Always into everything, adventurous, curious, you name it. He was pretty good in public though for the most part. He was outgoing and very friendly to everyone we came across.
One time, when he was 3, a bunch of us who posted on a local BBS got together at a Shari’s. I brought my sweetie along. I sat him down next to me with crayons and those kid’s menus they give you. I turned to talk to my friends, when all of a sudden I hear, “HE BIT ME!” I turn in the direction of the angry voice and see this man at the booth across from us looking horrified. He yelled again, “SOME KID JUST BIT ME”. I smiled and thought to myself, “Thank God it wasn’t my child” as I turned to pat my sweet little boy on the head… he wasn’t there. He emerged from under the table of the angry man’s booth, looking apologetic and innocent at the same time. Talk about embarrassing! In front of all my friends too, let alone this poor strange man…
