Children's Area At Starbucks


Here we were last weekend having iced chai, hot chocolate and lower in sugar Fruit Loops at Panera Bread. We also sampled the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel...delicious. Still, my favorite is the Tomato Basil Bread. We had only a few dirty looks since we were outside. Afterall, why would anyone bring their child to a coffee house? (Thank you to my sister, Theresa for the picture. I've finally sent my own camera in to Sony for repairs.)

i'm confused... why does the title of the post refer to starbucks when you were at panera? are you just trying to screw with my pea-sized man brain?

I thought more people would know Starbucks than Panera...but yes, I was.

Mission accomplished

Depending on what mood I was in, I would have either ignored you had a baby in an inappropriate place if she was quiet, or looked disgusted and loudly said "Excuse Me!" when she wandered into my path.

sewage pipe: innapropriate place.

But MFing Starbucks...err Panera...err outside Panera!?

Honestly, I think a kid out in public who acts like an ass shouldn't be allowed anywhere but a cage. A little later we took two more chairs and stuck her in the middle so she couldn't get out while we enjoyed sandwiches.

Here's what you have to understand Tam, your baby to you is like my dog to me. While I would have no problem going to Target to buy underwear and a birthday card with my dog, other people would totally have a problem with it. I feel that way about babies and children sometimes. I don't want to be bothered with the sound or sight of them. Yes, I'm one of those evil people, although honestly, if the kid is quiet and not causing a fuss of any kind, I really don't care if they're there, most times.

Thanks so much, Alli...not Kristen.

No. Honestly, I get it. It is the reason we sat outside. I realize trying to enjoy your coffee while reading the paper doesn't really mix well with kids.(Neither does posting on your blog every day, which is why I'm a lame ass when it comes to it.) Believe me, I know all too well how a child can complicate a situation. But I couldn't imagine life without her. I'd die inside.

We ALL are awaiting the arrival of Taco...even if that means something dirty to some other people.

A nanny since 1996, I'm tired of washing nipples that aren't mine.
