Why is it that on the kids meals at restaurants they have caffeine, and they serve it after 4pm? Last night we went to Chili's to grab a quick dinner on the way home from Soccer. Our oldest ordered a coke with his Mac N Cheese and we didn't hear him do it. The youngest (always trying to do the right thing) ordered Sprite. When the coke arrived, we weren't pleased but said that he could drink that one and then it was water after that. Well as luck would have it, we were served by the single most cheery / happy / peppy 18year old you've ever seen. She started lining the table with refill cups of coke. Ummm hello?
Here's my solution. There should be a cut off time (for kids) for caffeine in restaurants....like 4pm. If parents want their kiddos to be wired for the rest of the evening then they can order a regular drink with an adult price attached to it.
Granted I know its ultimately our fault for not catching the coke order in the first place, but a little help would be awesome!
The result....he laid in bed until 10 and then fell asleep. He went to bed at 8:30....
