My brother is older than I am and his girlfriend even older than that!

not running a restaurant.

Probably so, lucretia. I still remember when I was in my 20's having to
tell a friend to take her child (3 year old, IIRC) home. She blithely
sat there and ignored her "adorable little girl" when she started
ripping pages out of an expensive hardbound book. Sorry, you may let
your child behave that way at home but she's not allowed to do that in
my house.
