I was eight years old before my parents first took me to a restaurant. Was old enough at that point to sit still and behave properly & with good manners. And yes, Mr. Belt and Mr. Bar of Soap were used in my parents’ household when needed.
I could count on my hands and feet how many times we went out to eat during my entire childhood and have digits left over.
We must be related. :) I thank God for my parents.
