I love kids, but I know what you mean. I love my 3.5 year old son more than anything, but I realize that sometimes the outside world needs to be insulated from his lunacy.

On the other hand, people who go to a blatant family restaurant and get mad that there's a lot of kids there can blow me. If you can't afford to take your date anywhere nicer than Chuck-E-Cheeze, don't get mad at a bunch of kids for being, well, kids.

I have 2 kids, and would not take them anywhere nicer than applebees on a regular basis, asctually took my son who was 6 at the time to JAX (a super high end restuarant locally) for brunch with my parents and grandma. He was good until he found out that they had a trout stream outside, then we went out and looked at the fish for an hour till everyone else was done eating.

Would not repeat that experience. Kids have their place, fine restuarants ain't it.

I used to hang out with twins, not the kind that look identical, the other kind. One was huge, the other slight, with a sibling rivalry to the point of being cruel to one another. We used to go to this ice cream place that offered a huge sundae in a mixing bowl called the "belly
buster" with the promotion being anybody that can eat it alone gets it free. The big one orders it, 5 minutes later, to bells and whistles and drum beats, 4 staff bring it to the table on a stretcher which evidently was part of the charm but also served to get everybody in the place looking at our table. To add to the attraction they placed a mini stobe light on the table lest any one in the place forget that a "belly buster" challenge was underway. They place the bowl in front of the big guy, he grabs his over-sized spoon with one hand and wraps his other arm around the bowl as an animal does to protect a kill. Immediately the brother tries to infiltrate the bowl's defense with a spoon over the arm, only to be skunked by a move similar to a boxer defending against a jab. This goes back and forth several times, voices begin rising, attention from the other patrons is maintained. After several moments of arguing and shadow boxing with spoons the angry big twin reaches down deep and with a long a very vocal effort brings up what has to be an oyster sized loogee(sp)and while holding off his brother with one arm, directs his face back toward the bowl with the apparent thought being that by claiming his catch this way, there'd be no way his brother would attempt further encroachment. A muffled yech is heard throughout the restaurant as what is about to happen becomes apparent. Thinking quickly, and at the precise moment before the oyster sized loogee was sent into the bowl, the skinny twin rose from his seat, leaned over the shoulder of his brother, and with expert aim and one nostril covered, sent a full nostril full of boogers directly into the bowl thus leaving the treat unappetizing to both brothers.
