Next time, I'll smash your kid's video game
Posted by The Ventilator on Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Dear Parents,
Next time, I'll smash your kid's video game on the table and laugh as he cries.
I love spending time at my favorite restaurant - but you ruined my last visit by letting your kid play his videogame full blast for the duration of your - and my - meal. The game's sound effects of shattering glass, explosions and God knows what else were so loud, I could hardly hear my dining partner talk.
But you probably didn't notice, as you were each engrossed in your own phones' screens. Maybe next time you can all enjoy a true family dinner - while respecting other families around you - by talking to each other instead of exclusively communicating with your own glowing devices.
And like real human beings, you can show some common courtesy and be respectful of the fact that a restaurant is not your personal dining room where your kid can do whatever he wants. If you want your kid to have the freedom to be obnoxious, stay home next time.
Love,
The Ventilator

You are living a lie.
Just stop lying to yourself and each other about the anxiety you feel when you drive south of 86th Street.
