(especially after talking trash)  Feel like I let my team down a bit.Didn't schedule some stuff due to the tourney.  Missed out on a bit.Could have used about 4 more days of GenCon....UglyGo to bed at 3AM.  Woken up by a screaming toddler at 3:15.  No prob.  I have a 6 and a 3 year old (not 6 3 year olds, Wil), I understand.  10 minutes later, it's still going on, and it dawns on me that nobody is trying to quiet or comfort this child.  So, I go out in the hallway to find this cute little girl, about 2.5 years old, screaming her head off, wearing a soaked diaper that must weigh about 10lbs.  I can't get anything out of her at all, except she wants her mom and dad.  Tell my roomate to call the front desk, and I finally get her to stop crying and become somewhat coherent.  About then, this young guy (early 20's) from the front desk shows up and is freaking out.  Of course this sets off the girl again.Now, what really pisses me off at this point, is that we are the only people out in the hall trying to help this girl.  Except for the the occasional "TELL THAT KID TO SHUT UP!", everyone else is either sleeping through or hoping the problem will go away.  So, the girl finally sobs herself half-asleep (hell, she might have been in shock), and the dude takes her downstairs, and I go back to bed.Next morning, the guy is still at the desk, and I ask what happened to the girl.  As soon as he came out of the elevator, she let out a wail, and mod and dad come running out of the lobby where they were playing D&D. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> They apparently had a baby monitor, but guess what?  That crap doesn't work through 4 floors of concrete and steel.Moral of the story: Put your kids before gaming, OK?  And for the rest: if you hear a kid in trouble, try to help.</blockquote>
