There were 18 planned for dinner so shoe-horning in a 19th was an interesting excersise in creative seating geometry. I'll gloss over discussion as to the relative do's and dont's of their adding a five year old uninvited guest to an adult dinner party as I am always open to stretching hospitality as far as I can. However, this little monster had no concept of how to behave and his parents seemed to take no notice of his outrageous and incessant bad behaviour.

Random, but:
I have no clue what makes some people think that an invite extended to "You and Husband" equals "You, Husband, and Your Kid."
Note to parents: It does NOT. And you are rude for bringing them.
