“But then again, we all were making noise, as most of us were accompanied and chatting,” he reasoned.
Once his food arrived, though, he noticed that the older child started to wander around the dining room. First, the kid wanted to read a sign located near the front door. Afterward, he read a sign in the back.
Finally, the child needed to go to the bathroom before they wanted to go outside.
At that point, he admitted to finding the child’s behavior a bit annoying– even though it was easy to just ignore the kid.
“I should say that neither of the women that were with him did anything to stop him, not at any time,” he explained.
But, later on, the kid’s behavior reportedly escalated. The child began yelling while running around the restaurant, and neither of the women stepped in. At one point, the kid also accidentally knocked into his friend’s chair, and he saw as other customers appeared annoyed by the kid’s behavior, too.
Then, since he and his friends were eating at a table in the middle of the room, the child started running in circles around their table. By the third time the kid tried to circle them, though, he was sick of it and put his arm out to stop the child.
Afterward, he told the kid to stop doing that and to go sit down– because it was inappropriate to bother other people in public spaces. He also told the child to wait until they got home to run around and claimed that if the kid didn’t behave, he would make the kid wait outside alone.
Now, he knows he obviously could not have done that. But he thought saying that would be enough to just scare the kid off.
“And I honestly don’t know how it came out,” he revealed.
“In my mind, I was quite calm. But apparently, I was screaming at the kid.”
