why do we even have to explain this?

From Austin Craigslist: Girl who yelled at me for commenting on her bringing her baby to a bar (Not written by me, in case you are wondering. Last night at the Highball, in the *bar* I saw a woman carrying what appeared to be a 7-9 month old baby. Um, please go bowl or something. Not hang out at the bar.

This is wrong, and stupid. A) you shouldn't be out at a bar drinking and performing child care for reasons that are obvious, B) sure we may not smoke in the bars here anymore but that doesn't make it any more of a kid friendly environment all of the sudden and C) why, why, why are you inflicting a crying baby on a bar full of people? Bars are for grown ups, not babies.

If you can't afford a babysitter, stay home. It's not that hard of a concept. If you are determined to be drunk, buy a damn six pack. It will be cheaper at the grocery store than the bar anyway!

I will not even begin to go into my feelings about women who are drunk and breastfeeding at the bar, except to say that CPS *will* take a report on that.

Fucking A. I am sooooooo completely out of patience with the whole hipster "ain't it cute?" notion that you can bring your kids along with you to the bar. We have a couple of friends who do that (and their not young...they are both in their 40s!) and it made me want to punch them both in their respective reproductive organs.

We need some shirts that says "Babies are not the new chihuahuas" or something.

In the interest of disclosure, my father took me to a bar often when I was about four or five. (The one I think you worked at in Lubbock!) It was generally in the afternoon when it did not seem to busy. We were also with a friend of his, and spent time playing Gauntlet.

Yeah, J.'s friends from Denver. The ones that have the kid in the middle while they are drinking wine in their Christmas postcard that J. and I are always hiding in each other's stuff to jump out at us like Chucky! We are sooooo waiting to see what they send this year.

And can I say "they're not young?" I actually do know the difference between "their" and "they're" and use semi-decent grammar quite regularly. This is what I get for trying to comment at work on the sly! Ha!
