Once again we’re sick of current events so here’s another golden oldie article for the weekend…<\/p>\n
What happens when parents can’t control their delightful little urchins in a public restaurant and the wee ones run amok? Fun times, that’s what!<\/p>\n

Most of the patrons at the Bucky\u2019s Burgers at Cactus Corners’ Blue Cactus Shopping Center were absolutely delighted by the antics of Layla Cooper\u2019s six rowdy and rambunctious children last Monday evening. Cooper and her urchins invaded the fast food chain at around 6:00pm and stayed for a full hour charming the customers.<\/p>\n
Cashier Danica Drew said, \u201cWhen Layla came in with her children, the place just livened up immediately. Those kids were running around the dining room, yelling, pushing and punching each other, pulling each other’s hair. They weren\u2019t shy either. They\u2019d run right up to people and scream at \u2018em. It was so fun watching those little scamps. Then once their food was ordered, they had a good old fashioned food fight right there in the dining room. They threw everything; fries, hamburgers, drinks. We\u2019re still trying to get those shake and root beer stains out of the carpet. But hey, kids will be kids. What are you going to do right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m telling you,\u201d commented senior citizen Gert Metzger. \u201cThose little whippersnappers were delightful. Take that little brown haired boy with the runny nose. I was eating my burger when he comes up and yells in my ear. My hearing aid started whining and I dropped my burger on the floor. Then the little dickens used my shirt sleeve as his Kleenex and wiped his nose all over it. That ragamuffin sure got me good. But hey, kids will be kids. What are you going to do, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mechanic Al Stanley said, \u201cWell I was sitting on the toilet, reading the latest issue of Cosmo, when all of a sudden I hear all these footsteps. It sounded like a herd of buffalo. Then one of those delightful little sprites kicked open the door and much to my delight all six kids were standing there watching me take a dump and laughing. Then they left the stall door open and went screaming out of the rest room leaving the rest room door wide open to boot. I can\u2019t remember when I\u2019ve had so much fun. But hey, kids will be kids. What are you going to do, right?… I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019m going to do…those goddamned little %$^%&#@*((*&&*!*(**@&$.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cooper said that she has tried to discipline her kids, but she claims it doesn\u2019t work. \u201cI\u2019ve tried to make \u2018em mind, but they just got minds of their own,\u201d said Cooper as she took a drag off her cigarette. \u201cAnd each of the kid\u2019s fathers ain\u2019t around anymore. Why my last boyfriend ain\u2019t even seen little Chance. That\u2019s him over there, tipping over the trash can. He\u2019s strong for a two year old ain\u2019t he? My current boyfriend and I are trying to have another kid. He\u2019s got a good job, too. He\u2019s a stock boy over at Juggermart. He\u2019s really good to the kids, too, although I\u2019ve seen him letting A.J. have some of his beer. A.J.\u2019s only nine, you know. Angela! Put mama\u2019s cigarettes down honey pie. You\u2019re not supposed to smoke until high school. Besides, everybody just loves my kids. They\u2019re not bad. They\u2019re just spirited and energetic. Yeah, that’s it; spirited and energetic.” She paused and took the cigarette lighter away from Angela. “Besides, we like it here at Bucky\u2019s. We\u2019ll probably come back here next Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cashier Drew, upon hearing of Cooper\u2019s upcoming visit, immediately requested the following Monday off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
