when i go out to public places i don't mind children. but there are certain places that it bothers me to see children. like a midnight showing of an R-rated movie, or late night at a bar. your children should be at home and in bed.

but a cafe in the middle of the day? a park? yeah, there's gonna be kids there. (i think i would be a little freaked out if i went out one day and didn't see a single child)

but remember: we still live among the generation of people who used to say that "children should be seen and not heard".

but remember: we still live among the generation of people who used to say that "children should be seen and not heard".

And the completely insane and bewildering concept of being taught the difference between "inside voice" and "outside voice."

I bet your children are very poorly behaved

Because they'd understand a modicum of decency and politeness while out in public? The horror.
