Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

You're turning into your father?!

No, he's turning into your father.

No, he's turning into your father.

Trust me when I say that Xath will NEVER be mistaken for my father, Lefferts.

I was pretty amused by all the complaints of "that's what kids do." Really? Mine don't, at least not when they're out. I have a funny feeling that these same complainers sure didn't get to act like that if they were out when they were kids either.

You know, when I was a kid, that wasn't what we did. If I acted like that in public, there was punishment. Not this "go sit in the corner and think about what you've done" crap, but the smack-on-the-butt kind.

OK, so I can't talk about this in a coherant manner.

I decided right then and there that these rude obnoxious kids were NOT going to ruin my only chance to go to the movies for the first time in two months. I turned around and gave them the "Daddy Voice" with both barrels: "Shut...up!" I have seldom seen two more chagrinned and terrified faces in my life. They uttered nary a peep for the entire rest of the movie.

My wife and I have to do this often at the movies. I tend to let it slide a bit in movies where I expect kids, but my tolerance drops to ZERO in PG-13 and above movies. Wanna see me become spawn of Satan? Bring a child to a rated R movie and let them misbehave just once. *coughSAWcough*.
