Last night I went out to a nice restaurant and there was a screaming child

[XemaSab]

I ignored the kid and ate my meal.

[LiberalEsto]

1. I would have eaten the kid

and ignored my meal

:evilgrin:

[struggle4progress]

2. I thought you were supposed to ignore your meal and eat the kid

Well, rats! Got beaten to it by a minute!

[Kali]

3. isn't that the whole point of concealed carry?

:P

[HappyMe]

4. lol!

:rofl:



Aw hell no!

5. I was lucky enough to see a travelling Picasso exhibit today.

It was packed with people posing and murmering to each other. Of course somebody decided to bring a three year old that was acting out and everybody seemed annoyed. I think Picasso might have liked the kid more than the adults.

[HappyMe]

6. Yay, Picasso!

:woohoo:

So despite the screaming, the exhibit was good? Paintings? Just drawings? Where?

[pa28]

10. It was at the DeYoung museum.

Painting, sculpture, etchings, pencil sketches and probably some other things I'm forgetting. It was really crowded but that still did not take too much away. I won't go into it but seeing many of the works I'd studied in art history or just for fun all in one place was a little overwhelming. I know the tour has a few more stops. Be sure to check the schedule.

[HappyMe]

11. Thanks!

It sounds like an awesome exhibit.

7. I know how to make children in restaurants stop screaming.

breastfeed 'em.

[HappyMe]

8. But only 'til they are 12,

and only at the Olive Garden.

[Generic Brad]

14. That would certainly get me to stop screaming

Of course, that sight might elicit screams from the other patrons.

[LaurenG]

18. That works for husbands too.

:rofl:

[Ptah]

9. Well I was in line at the grocery store, behind a woman that believed differently that me.

She paid and left.

So did I.

[seabeyond]

12. we went out. i heard a high pitch scream. so i started looking around, counting the children and

telling family about the threads. four kids. none of them made the scream. lol. and

we ignored the adult and ate our meal, too.

but we all had a good chuckle

and for real, my youngest pointed to the screen on tv. was a mexican channel and they had the european ad with the kid throwing a tantrum in the grocery store and then the fathers face of humiliation and

condom.

we all busted up laughing. perfect.

13. Dining out is SO much more enjoyable once the Prozac kicks in.

15. The key word is "nice"

That kid's parents had an obligation to take him out of the restaurant until he/she settled down, IMO. I always did that when my kids were little. It's not that hard to be courteous and mindful of others.

16. Was it a Chili's? I would have sent a round of drinks over to the kid's table.

17. Visiting Olive Garden again, I see.

:rofl:

[Faygo Kid]

19. At least it wasn't a movie or an airplane.

I think screaming children are required there, if my experience is any guide.

[RedCloud]

20. How utterly primate of the kid. Place kid next to peer. Screaming stops.

They are behaving like, well like tea baggers!

[PassingFair]

21. But, but, wasn't your meal RUINED?

Didn't the experience make you want to BAN children from restaurants?

Didn't it RUIN YOUR LIFE???!!!111

[BiggJawn]

22. Sorry about that...

I specifically told the Chef to stun the little bugger before gutting it.

[Skittles]

23. I keep earplugs handly when I'm flying

yes INDEED
