Quote of the Day: Carolyn Hax Chat
From an online discussion about whether it was okay to not allow kids to attend a wedding:
Kids at weddings: At my wedding, I had crayons and construction paper at the place settings for children five and under, seated with parents. Then all the teenaged (12-15) cousins were seated together at the opposite end of the hall from their parents.
I also arranged for apple juice to be served at the place settings with the crayons instead of champagne.
I forgot to instruct the caterer to make the drink substitution for the teen table.
The younger cousins thought it was gross, so the oldest cousin drank... um, six glasses.
I didn't realize what had happened until said fifteen year old started doing a mock tango with his grandmother. One of the four year olds drew a picture of this moment.
Moral: ALWAYS include the children.
Carolyn Hax: Sold.
