A curious 4-year-old in Monroe, Conn., is going to have to get his doughnuts elsewhere after asking a Doughnut Inn customer the wrong question. Justin Otero's mother says the boy asked the customer if she had a baby in her belly and was told no. "My response was, 'Oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so sorry,'" the mom tells WFSB. But she says that while the customer was forgiving, managers refused to allow her in the store with her son, saying, "'He's not allowed in here, he's rude.'" The mom says she plans to get doughnuts somewhere else with her son, who "sort of" understands what happened but is still asking questions.

One of my sons worked as a server. He came to dislike dealing with a certain ethnic group. While not all persons of this group were jerks, a number of them “behaved stupidly.” And management cowered before them.
He’s not “rude’ he’s “4 years old”
Kinda like Jeffery....

Forward! ;-) In order to be tolerant and supportive of ... um ... "large people" we shall be intolerant of 4 year olds who ask frank and sometimes inappropriate questions. Hint to anyone who has never had a 4 year old - that just kind of goes with the territory. You can't sit down and go over every conceivable situation and question that might arise with a child before taking them out in public. This is how they learn. It is messy, funny, and sometimes embarrassing.
Maybe if the boy claimed he was transgendered or self-identified as female they would (re)welcome him with open arms? But if he pretended to shoot through the hole in a donut they'd probably ban him again.
In all seriousness though, I 100% support the right for businesses to refuse to serve anyone. (hint, that includes people who may offend or go against the religious sensibilities/beliefs of the business owner) In this case it seems like an enormous overreaction to ban the 4 year old. So while it is their right to refuse service, it is a stupid call on the manager's part.
Did he say it in Vietnamese?
WOMAN: Sir! My eyes are up here.
HOMER SIMPSON: I’ve made my choice.

When I was about 6, I told my mom that my little brother was a son of a b!&ch
That did not end well.
I saw this on the news last night; you'd probably be wise to do so. The place looks like a pit. The boy and his mom would be better off at the local Dunkin' Donuts.
My daughter at 5, saw a man with an eyepatch in a restaurant and screamed out, “Look, a pirate”.

Michele:What are you picking on us for anyway? We’re not the ones who got fat.
Christie: We’re pregnant, you half-wit.
Michele: Yeah, well...I hope your babies look like monkeys.
LOL
LMAO!
When my husband was a toddler, his mother was in a supermarket line with him in the little cart seat. There was a black guy ahead of them in line, and my toddler husband asked, "Why is that man chocolate?" My mother-in-law was SO embarrassed, and apologized to the guy, but he just thought it was funny.
Honestly, I think our world has gone mad!!!
We have lost all sense of decency. He was FOUR YEARS OLD and probably just becoming aware of “ the birds and the bees”.
AMERICA... WAKE UP!! YOUR DYING!
My sister, at about that same age, saw a woman(?) punker (this was the 80s) with wild, colored hair, etc. and screamed, "a clown, a clown!" I laughed, the woman(?) did not.
A little 4 year old boy was always sucking his thumb . His mother tried all kinds of ointments, including Tabasco, to stop the habit. One day she told the boy that if he continue this action he would swell-up a burst.
A few days later she attended a baby shower of a friend, with the boy.
During the party the boy sided-up next to the,the very PG, woman.
He then blurted out with a grin “I know what you have been doing!”.
It’s not a baby, it’s a “disease” according to CDC-NOW-DNC-ETC
I’m getting suspicious of these stories where someone, especially a child, was asked to leave a store or restaurant because of something trivial, or because the other customers felt uncomfortable. Maybe the mother is hoping for donations or a lifetime supply of free doughnuts. There have been too many stories that have turned out to be hoaxes. Call me a skeptic.
Did she drop her monocle?

If the woman had ANY sense of humor she would have said: “No baby in here...just LOTS of doughnuts!!”
Does she work for NSA OR RIAA?
