Ugh, you poor thing. I often encounter the same scenario in restuarants...the group of parents have one table, totally self absorbed and usually 3 sheets to the wind. The other table is the kids, loud, obnoxious, and rude. No matter how many people shoot dirty looks over there, the parents are totally oblivious. I wish *my* mom had been that blind towards me!

Definitely kidding. Many people can vouch for me when I say that I was a very well behaved kid. I was too scared to be anything else.
