Stop staring at us

I have two very rambunctious boys.  They can be good and sit still, but when confronted with a huge tree house inside of a McDonald’s they get a little wild.  Today this scenario happened,  a huge tree house inside a McDonald’s.  We went to breakfast with my mom before we started our drive home.  When we got there, there was nobody else sitting in the play area.  Then an older couple came in and sat down. I thought it was odd that they would pick the play area to sit and have breakfast.  While the boys ran around, they gave us dirty looks.  When I took Baden to the bathroom they watched me walk all the way there.    It was rather uncomfortable.  As we were getting ready to leave, we walked past them and the man said “good”. I took this to mean good they are leaving. I don’t normally confront people, but this time I turned around and said do you have a problem.  They looked at each other with shocked looks on their faces.  The woman said no I don’t have a problem. I said well obviously you do because from the time you got in here you have been watching us.  I know my boys were running around and yelling, but you are sitting in the kids area.  If you don’t want to be around kids, sit somewhere else.  I turned around and walked out.  I was so mad.  First of all, the boys would be enduring a 6.5 hour ride in the car.  They needed to be able to run around before we got in the car. Second of all, they were sitting in the kids area where normally there are a lot more kids than just my boys.  They should be thankful it wasn’t a whole slew of kids.  My mom told me I surprised her when I turned around and said something, but she said sometimes you just have to speak up.  You are so right, Mom.
