Just being kids. That said, i can understand people not wanting to experience normal kid behavior durind a pricier meal.

I got on the train recently and found a prime seat vacant. Sat down and noticed the family seats (4 seats arranged facing each other, designated for families by amtrak)

I experienced a hour of sing songing, humming, babbling, "mommy why this, why that". i then knew why the experienced train riders avoided my seat
