I'm not terribly fond of small kids, but I feel like I've mellowed as I've gotten older, and although they were making a lot of noise and there was even a baby crying at one point, I was pretty chill about it. However, towards the end of out meal, there were two young ones standing and jumping up and down on the booth bench and looking over at us. As we were leaving, an adult male in the booth said "sorry." My too-nice sister said "that's OK," but I gave him my best dirty look, because seriously, if your kids can't behave any better than that, they don't belong in a restaurant. I understand that kids sometimes act up, but if you can't control their behavior in public, you should take them to Chucky's Cheese's or McDonald's.
Exits grouch old lady mode. End of rant.
