while dinnering by the front window facade of california roll factory tonight, a woman walked by with her eight-to-ten-year-old child who went into hysterics in front of the restaurant, screaming, crying, tantruming on the ground, and even grabbing at the outside chairs and tables. it was insane, and this woman could not get control of her child (not that she was trying that hard, and was throwing a bit of a tantrum herself).
as disrupting as it was for us with only a pane of glass separating us from the craziness, i felt really bad for two guys that were sitting outside.. the ones whose table and chairs she was grabbing at and sitting in.. she even grabbed at their chopsticks and food. this went on for nearly twenty minutes!
and while i obviously don't know the whole story and shouldn't judge, i just don't understand how it could escalate to that point. boundaries and discipline, people. boundaries and discipline!! did i mention the woman was walking the child on one of those monkey backpack leashes?
