I laughed so hard food flew right on to my computer screen! Even if they didn't speak English, they could have communicated that to you. Their behavior was just rude, and very un-mom like. Oh well, it was most certainly their loss.

The girls are still flying them. They like to run too :) <br /><br />Your mom's group will love them, even if the maine momma of 3 (formally: stayathomemommy from maine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02710682974223696067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-72434451090160142252009-05-02T17:48:00.000-04:002009-05-02T17:48:00.000-04:00@ jennwa -- Thanks for stopping by and for hosting...@ jennwa -- Thanks for stopping by and for hosting the Friday Showcase!
