Please watch your kids...

How hard is it for parents to watch their kids nowadays? Especially in crowded and busy environments. It is not only to keep kids out of trouble, it is also to protect them. It’s for their own good.

I was in Denny’s on Mother’s Day morning. It was packed. I mean like a million people…or 150 or so...lol. As you can imagine, all the tables were full, the waiting area was full…even people outside. They must have had their whole staff working that day. So lets add, 20 workers to that number…120 people in a Denny’s restaurant.
Kids are running around like crazy. They just roaming through the restaurant, here and there, bothering people at their tables as they wanna crawl under them chasing their toys. Ridiculous. It was all fun and games right???
Until…
This kid comes out of bathroom…alone, was looking backwards as he walked forward…he must have seen something he didn’t like because…PPPPPPUUUUUUNNNNNNNNEEEE…he just bolted like 100mph through the restaurant….still looking backwards. So obviously, he didn’t see the waiter walking across from a table to the kitchen carrying a stack of about 5 plates…with forks, knives, syrup, etc… so, by the time the kid decided ‘hey, if I’m gonna run this fast, maybe I should look where I’m going’…the kid turned his head…and …

SMACK!!!!…ran his head straight into the stack of plates. Glass went flying into the air…as the kid went flying to the ground. With one smack with the noggin all the plates smashed into pieces. You know what follows…kid crying, head leaking blood all over Denny’s broken-glass-covered floor…parents going crazy….

and guess what???

They blamed it all on the waiter carrying the plates. Parents yelling he should have been watching the kid coming. That the kid is sick mentally and all this other stuff. Until one smart person said…“if the kid is so sick mentally, then maybe you should have put a little more energy into watching your kid, and took him to the bathroom yourself.”

A hush went through the restaurant…as the parents slowly walked their son out stopping the blood leaking with a stack of Denny’s napkins. What a shame?

Whose fault is it?
