Rules for Eating Out With More Than Two Children

For future reference...

1. Upon entering restaurant, inform host/hostess that your party requires two separate tables. By separate, you do not mean two tables pushed together to resemble one. You mean TWO SEPARATE TABLES.

2. Never, ever, allow the hostess to seat you at one of those corner round tables that are intended for 8 to 19 people, but only really seat 6. And don't let them try to convince you that putting an extra chair at the table will make it more comfortable or pleasant.

3. If, after making these criteria known, the hostess still tries to seat you in one of the above mentioned manners, refuse the table. Offer to wait. Or leave and go find a restaurant that will be more accommodating to your dining needs.

4. This may be the most important rule of all. If, by previous arrangements, said children have been provided for by willing grandparents, DO NOT, under any circumstances, retrieve the children from the grandparents before proceeding to the restaurant. Leave them where they are. They will be cared for and amply fed by said grandparents. Go eat in peace.
