Now I wish they would enact a kid free section. Since the smoking ban, it's become a day care at restaurants. And the 'rents are too busy drinking their Margarita to worry with their kids. I saw this the other day and I wanted to stand and applaud: At a restaurant and Mom sees the little one on the verge of a tirade. She quietly stands up, grabs the kid and walks outside. When the kid was calm, she came back in. That's how it's done! No one even knew it happened because she pre-empted it. My Mom, she'd say go outside and find me a switch. I'll be out in a minute...
