Huh?  Lisa, are you confused?  The above quote says "I won't take them
to a nice restaurant...", not "I WILL take them to a nice restaurant..."

why is "jr." a boy?  I think he means "junior" as in younger, little one,
etc.  And, y'know, "his" is the generally used possessive pronoun of "person
of unknown sex".  Maybe it's not the greatest part of the language, but
what do you want him to say, "starts screaming its little face off?"
