“Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies. Nobody that matters, that is.”
Is it me, or is Edna admitting that she doesn’t really care for children? In a time where motherhood and family life were basically the only options for women, it must have been HUGE when she was going around making statments like this.
Why is it so shocking when people actually admit they don’t want to be around kids and don’t think they are all that great? I used to like kids. The keyword here is USED TO. Then I began working in resturaunts and that ALL changed. If I ever owned my own, I’d make it clear it is NOT a child friendly establishment, there will be no booster seats or highchairs, no childrens menu, and I would have the right to refuse anyne their meal if their child can’t behave like a normal human being.
I still work in a resturaunt sometimes and I literally freeze when I see a family pile into the door. My mind immediately goes to a future image of myself angrily sweeping a pile of crushed cereal and wiping away a sticky mess. And you gotta love the parents who expect you to clean up after their child threw a pile of noodles on the floor because, “It’s you job! We are paying you!!”
Hmm no. I am here to feed you dinner, not tend to your child.
So good for you Edna. Celebrate life without children. Sure, someday I may have a few, but they will never see the light of day if they can’t act like human beings.

children in restaurants should have ball gags when not eating. the parents should be fined for ever minute of screeching their child does. these minutes will accumulate throughout the meal and be taken care of at the end of the meal. this will make parents think twice before bringing the little noodle monsters into a restaurant
