The first thing that flows through my mind is very personal in nature but I am not prepared to share that kind of thought with the unknown. Most of my close friends can probably guess what I refer to, so I will leave it at that.
Currently, what I just don't get has to do with my previous post. Why do parents go on a field trip with their kids and think that it is all about them? Yes, they paid the money but isn't the point for the kids to learn and experience in the best manner for them. When was the last time you saw a ten year old enjoy sitting at dinner for over an hour? If you want a leisurely dinner with friends do it at home. I see traveling with your child as the opportunity to see them bloom, not hang out in the back gossiping with other parents about those that aren't there. Don't they get that if they are sitting in the back of the bus talking, it is very difficult for me to concentrate on what I am telling and the kids begin to think that it is okay to talk too. I know that most parents are supportive of their kids and don't behave like this but it just takes a few.
I am sure that writing about the other topic would be much more interesting but I am not sure I am prepared to write about being 36 and perpetually single. :)
Thanks for reading.

Don't worry, I don't get men either, as I'm sure you've figured out by now.
Men? Who can figure them out?
:D
watered down
Good grief ... what hope do some kids have in life with such ignoramesies for parents! I don't get how you kept your cool, your post oozes frustration! So well written and maybe copies could be handed round on the next trip ;)
DUH ???? ... where was men mentioned - where they reading about the same trip or is my eyesight failing ...(sigh) ;)
Some parents think everything is about them and pass it on. These kids will be OUR future on day!
Nice to meet you!
I live up by Placerville...howdy neighbor.
Men are from another planet don't forget. ;)
Strange. Now that you mention it... this rings bells. Nice post.
I'm sure you handled the situation with dignity and grace even though you wanted to strangle them all. The one blessing is that it was only a two day tour. I'm glad you enjoyed the camping trip. Call me.
