WHY (oh why!) do you have to take the screaming brats to public places where they are guaranteed to annoy anyone withen an 84 foot radius?? actually, i don't mind regular "public" places (malls, ball-parks), but restaurants, movies, places where you sometimes want to get AWAY from all the noise....... e.g. for the 3rd consecutive time, i have been out for dinner, drinks, light-hearted conversation, only to have a small child S C R E A M I N G ! ! in the background. my god, parents, think of others! it's not that i don't like little kids, it's just that taking them to a restaurant when they have no control of themselves is pretty damn unfair to the rest of us who would like to sit and enjoy ourselves, get away from loud noises and all that other nasty stuff that exist in the real world. one of these days when i have little rug-rats, i won't take them to a nice restaurant (the kind where you are putting out some $$$$$) only to watch everyone else *cringe* every time jr. lets out a yell. WOULD YOU LIKE ME SITTING IN A RESTAURANT/THEATRE HONKING AN AIR HORN??? next time, leave your little kids ( == air horns) at home, spring the few extra $$ for a baby-sitter. , ron vaughn ...!ihnp4!ihdev!rjv ps: yes, yes, i know. every person who has a little kid is going to jump all over my case, but "courtney" (yes, that's what "mommy" called the little fog-horn) was TOOOOOOO much. i had to get this off my chest. pps: if this isn't what net.flame is for, i don't know what is....
