Almost certain that those parents/families were NOT from Decatur (or our surrounding neighborhoods). Most likely they were OTP’ers who let their kids run around like they are in Lord of the Flies.

Remember: All the (greater) Decatur families are quiet and well-mannered, it’s the ones from outside that are causing all the ruckus.

That parent in Java Monkey Rebecca mentiones above? Definitely a responsible Decatur parent!

And neither do all people without children. Loud and obnoxious cell phone ringtones and conversations are a pet peeve.

Your criticism has been covered ad nauseuam in years past. Basic truth: kids don’t always act perfect and neither do their parents.

I have a very nice one in my attic that you can have. We’re just too lazy to bring it down and put it on craigslist.

I would normally join you in that chorus, but yesterday morning around 9am I was in Java Monkey, and some kid let out an ear piercing shrill and started wailing. It was freezing outside, but the mom promptly picked him up and that’s where they went. I was pretty impressed.

He sure is. That video was chilling. In a good way.
