GC, I knew you were kidding. I just don't like that particular phrase, even when used in jest; my father's side of them family actually believed it and disliked those of us who disagreed.
And MouseWife, I've had a similar experience (in the very long line at the DL Princess Faire) and I was frustrated and furious, too. I wish more parents would pay more attention to their children's behavior! I was just trying to lay the responsibility at the feet of the parents, who really can make a difference in the way kids behave.
