Sometimes when I take a break during the day at a local Lotterria, small children wander over to my table, stare me up and down, and maybe hop up on the seat opposite me or just stand there staring while their parents go off to place an order.

What do I do with the kids while their parents are gone?

Today a toddler's father smiled at me after his son wobbled over, then went off to wait in line for several minutes while his son hung on to a chair at my table to keep from falling down.

In Korea it's OK to play with other people's children. Smile

Try feeding them. Laughing

Whats the problem? A bit of friendly interaction with innocent kids can be refreshing.

Sometimes, yeah.

But if your job involves looking after kids then you tend to want to escape from them in your personal time.
