Lord have mercy!

I don't get the surprise. All the kids I saw --as a kid-- were well
behaved. My brother and I always behaved. It's probably due to our
parents imposing "social graces" on us. What a concept!! Not like it
was some kinda torture to go out for dinner.

Let's see: Good food. Nice surroundings. Parents not inclined to
chastise you in public. What's not to like? One catch. Gotta
"behave". Piece of cake! Sign me up! Is this weekly?
