“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”
All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.
Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.
The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.
On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.
So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.

As sixth graders, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn't sure where I belonged.
Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week.We were supposed to do nice things our friends without letting them know who was doing it.We could leave encouraging notes or cards either on their desks or in their bags.Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend over the next five days.
Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving instead of notes.Everyone was getting cool presents except me.My friend exactly what the teacher had told us.So I received nothing but hand-made cards with nice words about me.
On the last morning, I finally got a package.When I it, the girls around all .It was an "old lady" gift.My face went red.
I tried to forget about the shaming gift, but when the same girls it again during the break in the bathroom, I joined in, "How stupid! My grandmother wouldn't want it." The girls laughed at my words and went out of the bathroom.Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers I thought about my words.It wasn't like me to say things like that.
"I'm your secret friend." It was Rochelle." I' m sorry about the gift," she said to me, tears running down her face.
From a poor family, she was a target(目标) at school for those with rich parents.Yet she just took all the terrible treatment silently.
I was sick to my stomach as my words ran through my mind.She had heard everything.How could I have been so unkind?
Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury(奢侈品).
And I had destroyed everything for her.
I told her that I had only said those things to try to fit in.
"We aren't that different from each other, are we?" She smiled understandingly.Her simple , spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine.
