    The peeve I have about small kids are when they are plopped into a seat, given a napkin around the neck and are left to feed themselves.

    They make a mess, the stupid parents laugh and think it's so cute and the poor server has to clean up the mess.

    The other peeve, that is semi related to small kids, is the people that pull out the cell phones to photo the kids, smeared with food.

    Lovely.
    Kids do need to learn to feed themselves. I remember our kids feeding themselves spaghetti for the first time and taking photos of it.
    However, I don't think we would have done this in a restaurant.

    It's just one of those things parents do so they can blackmail their kids later on in life.

    LOL,

    I do like the messy photos, but they do have a place and a time.

    What about an old person with food on their clothes? That happens to me sometimes. The table just keeps getting further away.

    I can identify with that. My problem is, that the tables keep getting higher, even the one at home. I've lost 2" in height due to my crumbling spine and everyone tells me that's what the problem is. I don't want to go the high chair route, so I think sitting on a couple of phone books might help.....

    A booster seat made for adults is a good idea. Someone should invent those.

    Hmmm - not a bad idea. But how embarrassing would that be?? - to bring a booster seat in with you when walking into a classy restaurant.

    I can certainly relate to this! I was barely 5'2" in my younger days and it seems that I have lost about one-half inch already and I'm just 50! Oh wow did I just divulge my age? Hee Hee...

    Your Nifty Fifty! Enjoy it while you can. Take lots of calcium to build those shrinking bones back up.

    I think my table stays put.
    I just like to drool and dribble at the dinner table.

    Ugh! I would have to sit way on the other side of the room far away from you Mr. Drool & Dribble. Sounds like your ready for the care facility.
