To the man at Burger King,
It is your responsibility to pay attention to your children. It's wrong for you to let them do things then over react when someone else address that behavior! It didn't bother me when your little one took one of the chairs from my table, he is just a little fella. I did expect you to have him put it back though. I watched you watch him do it! When he came for the second chair I asked him to leave it and that's when you jumped on his case and threatened to spank him. WHAT was that about? You let him do it the first time why wouldn't he think it was ok the second time? Then to threaten to spank him? Then to yell at your kid for going through the netting only AFTER someone else stops their children from doing it. He had been doing it the whole time we were there! ARG you make me mad.
To the lady at Burger King,
Don't yell at your kid for taking her socks off when you weren't even in the room with her in the first place. She wouldn't have had her socks off if you would have been present. I guess it was more important to chat with the other girls moms wasn't it? So now you can go off on the kid in front of all the other patrons. Do you feel better now? Wench
To the burger maker dude at Burger King,
That was a most excellent burger my friend. The cheese was oh so gooey and melty. Fabulous!
To the person who decides what toys to give the kids,
It's not enough that your burger king commercials are creepier than any on record. Oh no! You have to make little "King" bobble head dolls? My son wouldn't even touch it! He said it was too scary. I have to agree! If you'll excuse me we have a family therapy appt. to attend.

I think there's an all around kid's meal toy crisis right now. Every time I go to Tina's house, the boys have some new useless crap lying around. About the only fun they get out of most of them is the act of applying the stickers (which usually only stay put for a matter of minutes). A bobble head? Really? What's a kid going to do with a bobble head? You can't play with it. It's just going to sit on a shelf. Psh! Here's my theory as to why they suck nowadays:
We, as Americans, live at fast food joints. Instead of spending time designing quality toys for the kiddos, they've got to crank out the crap to keep a steady supply of new toys so that the kids don't get tired of the same ones over and over again ... considering they'll probably eat at the same establishment two or three times per week. The demand simply far exceeds the supply.
All I'm saying is that if my kids find another stinkin' spinning top or another hollow plastic train section (not the whole train ... just a section ... because it's FUN to collect all 17 pieces ... even though they probably only make 100 of the actual engines ... so now you've got ten of the same tankers but nothing to drive them), I'm going to ... well ... I'm not gonna do anything because they love that garbage and who am I to pitch a fit over it? Hmmm. I guess all that matters is that the kids like them, huh? Okay. Nevermind.
Some parents are so odd...as for the Burger King bobble head, that would give me nightmares, I can't believe they give those to kids. YUCK!
I don't go to Burger King, I can't stand their burgers. I am a Whataburger girl....Yummmmm!
Fast food restaurants do seem to bring out the worst in parents who just let their bundles of joy run amok. I'd give up going but the burgers are too damn good!
HAHAHA!!!! I couldn't have said it better! Those commercials are THEE worst I've ever seen--I always turn the channel when that plastic head king comes on. What are they thinking! And why doesn't the guy freak out when he wakes up to find this plastic king in his bed with him???
Oh, you are cracking me up. My kids are 6 and 4, and all of this is daily strife for me...come on, parents, watch your kids. You *are* in charge.
Oh, and I love a good burger, too.
That burger was good, wasn't it? ;)

I laugh and laugh at the King. When he popped up in the bed with a breakfast sandwich, I thought I would die. I have nightmares about him but he makes me laugh. Oh, Oh Great One, do you think Sprinkle will ever return? Love your blog too!
I would also like to thank the skank ho for raising the next generation of stripers. Yes I noticed they were FAKE, and yes I know how many singles it took to get them!
When I was a kid all I remember getting from a McDonald's Happy Meal was the little miniature Barbies or the Hot Wheels. Remember those? It was like every time we went to McDonald's they asked if I wanted a Barbie or a Hot Wheel. I always said a Hot Wheel because you can't play with those dinky little Barbies (their arms didn't move!). A Hot Wheels car is WAY better than a creepy bobble head King.
great post! I share in your irritation.
