Kind of along the same lines as this thread, I had a funny dining experience on Friday. My better half and I went to eat at T-bones in Bedford. We sat outside(very nice) and found that they allow dogs there. 4 tables had dogs and all were well behaved. But I digress. I actually mentioned that all 5 of the 8 tables had kids and they were all really well behaved.
Here was the funny part. We overheard the father at the table next to us say to his son "If you don't eat that your paying for it". The kid ate his food. Maybe the same strategy would work with with mutant offspring.
