@everyone – Not a whole lot of opportunity to build pillow forts when you’re waiting for your meal at Beef O’Brady’s, and I need only direct you to the myriad questions about toddlers screaming in restaurants and waiting rooms to make the point that Dad’s iPad might come in handy for a momentary distraction.
No one’s chaining their kids to an iPad 24/7, but it can be an enriching and educational experience at the same time as it provides a service to non-breeders in public places.
