Where in the handbook of life does it suggest that parents + children = above the law. Just last week a bunch of us were at Amazing Jake's celebrating 21 wonderful years of my super cute sister in-law, and following our seamless transition from salad bar to pizza buffet this group of rugrats with their supposed parental unit felt that they were entitled to cut right in front of us. And cut they did!! Are their adolescent tummies superior to our 20-something stomachs? Am I jeopardizing today's youth of America by snagging my slice of pepperoni pizza before them? I certainly hope not! In fact, should they be eating that crap anyway? Isn't childhood obesity on the rise? We'll leave those spellbinding queries for later.
Parents with children may have the right-a-way at the jungle jim and day care, but not in my pizza buffet line, grocery store or even Disneyland. Don't get me wrong, I am a strong advocate of children and their rights, but as parents, don't assume that your child needs that slice of pizza more than me- sans offspring. All you parentals out there already get to shop at pottery barn kids, and each child you bring into this world comes with an excellent tax break package. Just remember that the next time you're contemplating cutting me off at the dessert bar...I want me some soft-serve just as much as your little angel!

I agree completely! Freak, us young adults have the least seniority of anyone. First, there are the old people (senior citizens), then pretty much anyone else that is considered "our elders". But WTF? When did kids take seniority over us? This is a mystery and something that I do not thing should be socially acceptable. I thank you for blogging this story.
haha... bout time someone said it! Love the new blog Carly!
I have kids (some to spare even) and I couldnt agree more.
