It certainly makes for a lousy mealtime, but i ALSO hate the toddlers who turn around in their booth and proceed to spend the remainder of the mealtime just staring at you and your party. REALLY! Aren't there any parents out there who know how RUDE this is? Most parents seem to be blissfully unaware of their kids behavior. (They're probably glad that junior is not screaming, kicking, slinging food, and annoying them!) If I had done that when I was a kid, I never would have lived to see the age of 5. Is discipline out of vogue these days according to the revered dr. spock or something? AAARRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!!!! (Gee, I feel a lot better now!) Later ... Becky --- Witty saying here ----
