I mentioned in another thread that I encourage my grandchildren to argue
and think for themselves. Well, when they were little they liked going
to McDonald's.
When they were about 5 & 7 they turned down my usual offer. They had
discussed it between themselves and had come to the conclusion that the
way McDo marketed to kids, especially with those cheap toys, was wrong
so they asked to be taken to a different restaurant. That was ~6years
ago and they haven't been since.
