SC - Prices for Underage/Undersized

[Margo Hablutzel]

	I certainly see a 19 or 18 year old in every way an adult but I can
I don't
	feel that it would be unreasonable to define a child as someone
under legal
	age for adulthood (e.g. 17 and under) as a child for event purposes.

	I don't have a problem with this.  It seems to me that if we have to
	fill out the minor waiver, we should be able to get less than adult
	prices for these smaller individulas.

HOLD IT!!!  Since when is the average 17-year-old smaller than an average
adult?  Now, I may be an exception, as I am the size of an average 10-12
year old (based upon some hand-me-down garb I own, given my friends when
their children outgrew it, and my casual clothing, bought often as not in
the children's section).  HOWEVER, when my brother was 16 and in a growth
spurt, he ate as much as my parents, combined.  (I was off at college and
they were putting on weight thinking they had not eaten enough!)

If we are going to price feast by the amount we assume the person will eat,
then I DEMAND to be given feast at the children's price, as I certainly do
not eat as much as <looking around at the list> most of you, I am sure.  But
no, I am over the magic 17, and so I must pay the full price for a feast
when I eat only half - yet someone's gangly sixteen-year-old, who eats TWICE
what I do, gets away at half price?  Unfair!  Time to haul out measures and
scales and have each person pay according to quantity, not age.  <smiling
fiercely, YES I AM JOKING!>

Someone being legally underage according to the laws of the locale is one
thing; someone having less than adult's appetite is quite another.  Please
do NOT confuse them!
