On dining out….
Yesterday, as hubby and I sat in the local Cheddars sharing an Asian salad with giant wontons and a burger, we were engrossed in stimulating conversation. The waitress was pleasant and did not overly interrupt us with “can I get ya anything,” or “ya’ll okay over here?” All in all it was a nice lunch. Until…
Yes here comes the straw that broke the camel’s back. The hostess sits a young couple behind us with two very active toddlers.

You know guys, I was just thinking, restaurants should have a family section. A section of the restaurant with stain proof carpet, animations playing on small flat screens, coloring books and such.
Their own damned section.
No, I am not anti-family. But my kid is grown. And until he gets married and brings us some grandkids, I don’t want to dine with screaming kids.
