Re: [Sndbox] Your Children Are Ugly

Maybe.... This is a purely anecdotal story and may be the exception.
My girls lost their mom.  Not a divorce.... she died...  They yearn for
a female....  I will make this story very short.
I dated a woman for awhile that was a magnet to kids.  She knew how
to push all the right buttons...  she was funny and had a good 
personality
on the surface.  But... she was 35 years old and had never been married.
That should be a red flag.  No kids either...  She could have wrote that
article that we read...  In fact I am not so sure that she didn't.....

They are usually a better judge than the parents.

The unfortunate thing is that, for men in their 30's and 40's who are
single dads, women like this make up a majority of the available dating
pool.

Your Children Are Ugly

I work in a 'family' restaurant. Apparently, since
we have a multitude
of high chairs, people assume that our nice, sit
down restaurant
doubles as a play place McDonald's. Very often, I
can be heard musing
to myself, "Why isn't anyone beating that kid?"

Did I mention that we're a SIT DOWN restaurant?
With carpet on the
floor and trendy alcoholic beverages that cost
over $7? You would
think that our customers would come in and realize
that this is not an
appropriate place to let your spawn crawl around
on the floor under
the booths grinding macaroni and cheese into the
carpet and howling.
You would think that the baby factories that come
in would worry about
their toddlers playing tag in isles where servers
are carrying heavy,
steaming hot plates.

They don't. And furthermore, if one of those hot
plates were to fall
and bash in the brains of their precious little
spawn, they would sue
us despite the fact that we are a restaurant, not
a daycare.
One night, I was waiting on a table with 2 parents
and 2 children who
were actually sitting in their seats. I was
considering myself awfully
lucky until a 2-year-old from another table
toddled over to my table,
snatched some chocolate milk from one of the semi
well behaved kids,
and then proceeded to lurch on back to his
parents.
The parents didn't even notice.

Obviously perturbed, I walked over to them and
said in a sickly sweet
voice, "While you were busy with your
conversation, your child just
stole chocolate milk off the table of one of my
customers."
The woman doubled over laughing, "Oh my goodness!
Isn't that funny?
No, it's not funny. It's not cute. It's incredibly
rude and
disrespectful. Furthermore, it could have been
completely prevented
had you been watching your child like you were
supposed too. I looked
pointedly over to my table hoping that she would
notice that my
customers were not in the least amused. This woman
STILL didn't get
it. I wanted to dip her head into a bowl of
battery acid.
This big group of Spanish people came into our
restaurant another
night with about 8 little animals. Oblivious, they
got drunk while
their kids sprinted though the restaurant, jumped
onto random booths,
and even ran into the kitchen and came VERY close
to dipping their
pudgy little fingers into the fryer. Repeatedly,
my manager intervened
and told the kids that they MUST stay in their
seats. No dice. I spent
the night wondering how I could push one over and
hurt them badly
while making it look like an accident. By the time
the little monsters
had finally left the restaurant, the other paying
customers were so
annoyed, that my manager had to buy them ALL free
dessert to make them
happy again.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is: If your
little animal is so
wild that he can't sit quietly in his seat while
in a restaurant, then
you need to leave him at home. My husband has two
kids that are too
wild to sit and eat for an hour straight, so we
don't take them with
us when we go out to eat. It really is a very
simple concept.
I don't find your kids or their behavior
particularly cute. In fact, I
think your kids are hideously ugly. Your children
are whining, crying,
rude, nasty, deformed looking little brats that
smell like shit and
are in serious need of a good, sound beating. I
would brutally murder
your children and tack their dried skins on my
wall as a trophy if I
could get away with it. Trust me.

Do you really want someone like me bringing your
kids chocolate milk?
No?

Then leave them at home.

I wanted a perfect ending... Now, I've learned, the hard way, that
some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning,
middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking
the moment, and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to
happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
