Your child is so well behaved!

We went out to eat last night, at a place that's not all that kid-friendly. John did really well, especially under the circumstances. He did a great job of using his "inside voice" and kept his toy trains mostly to himself.

He was a hit with the ladies who run the place too, who thought he was cute. He even let them tickle his chin - yes, he let strangers touch him. It was pretty unbelieveable.

The best came toward the end, when the people at the table next to us got up to leave. The gentleman asked us how old he was, and then said "He's very well behaved. Congratulations."

Um, right.....
