Speaking of such topics bring back the past to light, I remember, being about 11-12 years old, and went out to eat somewhere with my dad. I actually said this, then.

He looked at me, and said, 'Wow, that's exactly what your mom used to say!'

On another note: there are times, that I think, wow, glad I didn't bring mine! And there are times, that I just feel bad for the parents. As cliché, as it is, and as much discipline, child rearing one may try...some days, just are better or worse than others.

Have heart! But I get this thread. A library, with a librarian without authority over her library...scampering children, in an adult section of a library. Time to check out and go home...
