Ras, if you manage to incorerate that in a Feast, I sure hope you're the
Kidocrat at that feast. Even as well-behaved as most SCAdian kids are, it's
tough enough to keep them behaving on their bench- Heavens help us if
they're actually allowed to run loose, outside of parental reach.

I was at a feast once, where there was a seperate table for the kids, with
(theoretically) an older kid to watch them. Somehow, a food fight got
started, and it took us two hours to clean up the mess- understanding, of
course, that the offending kids' parents were standing over the kids and
making sure that the kids did the picking up.

Dunno, my friend. Kids at feast, sat down firmly next to their parents, is
an anachronism that I suspect we'd better learn to deal with.
