We go to a local place alot; Once in a while another family would be there. My family almost makes bets on when the youngest boy will begin for "I want gum" out of the gum ball machines. ALWAYS this is how it goes: 1. They get through eating. 2. The boy, age about 6, starts in..."I want gum" 3. The daughter, age about 8 or 9, takes brother to the machine. She is given a coin (What ever it is a nickel or dime) 4. Boy starts screaming "I want the quarter gum. I want the quarter gum. I want the quarter gum." 5. The girl looks to parents for help. Parents ignore all that is going on. 6. Boy is still screaming..... 7. The girl in time goes back for quarter 8. BOY GETS QUARTER INSTEAD OF PUNISHMENT. I have decided that I have a right to complain about this family. Like, Sam, I go to enjoy a meal in peace. If I want to listen to a bratty kid, I could go to my .........(never mind).
