Daddy brings in his cute 7 to 10 year old son to the diner. They take the seat next to the one and only Antlered Chamataka with his wild mouth, at the counter, in his favourite diner, as he sips coffee attended upon by an army of senoritas
The boy plays with toys and the three of us get into a conversation about how I ruined my Dad's favourite music by pulling out the tapes of his favourite casettes and diskettes.
Senorita brings three plates:
1. Two grilled chicken breast patties, and egg whites with raw sliced tomatoes.
2. A loaded hot dog like bratwurst or sausage rolled in all kinds of cheese and wrapped in bread, with french fries and soda.
3. Chicken fingers and a load of french fries, all fried just seconds ago and oil shining at the surface.
Of the three, you probably guessed which individual took which plate
I confronted the Dad about his choice of meal for his kid. Of course, I did it like inserting needle into a banana nice and slow, yet he was somewhat unhappy with my lecture.
Question is:
Would you confront an irresponsible Daddy like that one?
Not only was the kid going after the fried fingers, he was really having a plate loaded with thick french fries, and he was having a happy meal.
When I was a kid, my mom gave me portion meals. No more than three or four chicken pieces. And when it came to french fries, she will place only 4 or 5 strings on our plates. My Dad was worse, he would make us sit beside him and eat every vegetable from cauliflower to cabbages.
Sorry but it was none of your business. And do you really think it made a difference?
I hope the next time he is responsible and picks a better meal or buys his son half the plate. I am sure it will be on his mind for a while. I did it for the good of his son to grow up healthy and un-obese. He's such a great and active kid, and he is better off without such a LOAD of french fries.
AC as much as a love some of your posts, you really have to learn to mind your beeswax. You are very lucky that dad didn't put a fist in your mouth. I know my husband would have.

You think? The best thing about me is that I'm a diplomat and that's why people take me seriously in real life. That's also why it stings them harder when I show them reality and things they do not want to see or fail to see.
The conversation went on after that. It was one minor blip.
So it's not like there were 2 men at each other's throat
Remember, we are voting about whether it was okay to CONFRONT the parent, not whether it was okay to feed that to the child.
I'd be surprised if you got more votes supporting you than not.
