2. But exposure to the screaming children provides one of many experiences, right?
So it's not like you got completely ripped off...

7. It is only for a second that the salt shaker has been tampered with since
several cars in the parking lot still have their lights on. The waitress doesn't care, though. Everyone else at table six is having a good laugh at the ones at table fourteen ( they are the only ones who know the truth about what is REALLY happening ).

Don't ever forget to bring your cell phone charger

8. I've noticed that for some parents, 'child friendly' means everyone else gets to babysit their kids.
Since they let the kids run loose and pretend they don't know them. I never quite had that level of trust with my kid and strangers. After a few local kidnappings, I kept the kid in touching distance.

9. One of the best marriage proposals I ever had was ruined by a baby screaming...

It cried and screamed the whole time...I thought it was a bad omen, and didn't marry the guy...

11. Now that's funny.
:rofl:



Perhaps there is a Supplemental Beer & Travel fund that you can apply to. Hopefully they cut you a check before the govt shuts down or the Breast Feeders of Olive Garden get their hands on it.
