"Hello, we are Those People Who are Conveniently Oblivious to the Destruction Being Caused by Their Children."

I'm the mom who brings along her two children, ages six and seven, on her coffee run. As I place my order, I tell my kids to sit down and be quiet, to which they respond by prompting jumping up and running around screaming at the top of their lungs. They pull napkins out of the dispensers, knock over the sugar and creamer, pull chairs out from tables and leave them in the middle of the room.

However, while everyone else in the coffee shop looks on in horror at my children's reign of destruction, I simply take my time placing my order, occasionally glancing at my kids and softly saying, "Now you two behave yourselves," while not actually doing anything to stop them. When one of the baristas leans over the counter and attempts to politely tell the children to be quiet, I get very offended. These are my kids, leave them alone! Besides, it's not like they're doing anything wrong...

It's very nice to meet you.
