So we stopped at IHOP for dinner last night. This one is being remodeled and looks rather closed, so it was farily empty (all of 3 tables taken when we arrived). As we walked in, we spotted a young child (3?) standing on a booth seat, squealing loud enough to be heard through the plate glass, banging on said glass.

Now, I ocasionally reprimand myself for thinking bad thoughts about the parents/guardians of children that display such behavior. I don't know what it's like to be in their shoes, what challenges they have, etc.

But last night, it appears I was fully justified in my assumptions. We were lucky enough to be seated next to that table. A mother, the 3-year old and a 9 or 10 year old. As we sat down, mom was on her cell phone, stuffing her face, and speaking inappropriately loudly into the phone. I might have asked to move, but honestly, she was speaking so loudly in a near-empty restaurant that it wouldn't have mattered much, so whatever.

After 5 minutes, she was done letting us all in on her half of the conversation. Within a minute of that lovely display of class and manners, the 10 year old informed the waiter, "I need butter," for which he was admonished, "Say please. Mind your manners!" It was all I could do to resist laughing out loud and yelling "Irony!" at her.

This was all followed by her asking the 10 year old, "What's wrong with you?" several times over. Hmmm, what could be wrong? Where could he have learned his complete lack of manners? Hmmmmmmmmm.

As for the 3 year old, he spent most of the meal climbing on the seat, making noise, without more than a glance from mom. The one time she actually paid attention to him, it was to say, "Get out from under the table," which, of course, he didn't do and she never actually stopped him from doing so.

Sometimes, things just work exactly how you expect them to work.

I'd add that after the phone call and odd reprimands she pulled out something and started reading it, telling the older son that it was something very important that she had to read. Then she read and ignored her children some more while they ate.

For God's sake lady...if you don't have time to cook a dinner for your child (which is fine, really) then at least show them some attention while you eat said meal.

The best, though, was when she was on the phone and pushing a large slice of french toast into her face.

Preparing an expense report for one of my bosses. This firm does them in the most archaic fashion, I feel like I've gone back in time. It's also a royal headache to get the check to pay it back out of accounting.....UGH. These are the times I really hate the accounting folk.
