Tsk tsk, Sheldon. She can't control the placemats or the dining table
setting in a restaurant. And it has no affect on the quality of the food.
Years ago I worked at O'Charleys as a hostess. We handed out crayons and
paper placemats so the kids could scribble on them to keep them distracted.
If it's a "family style" restaurant, sometimes there is a method to their
madness. Koko didn't say it was a white linen 5 star restaurant. Just that
the food was good and she likes eating there. That's what counts.
