Appears that they were staying at the hotel with another family (relatives or friends, unsure, but they were not at breakfast) The kids were well behaved!! Announcing loudly that they were in an Executive Suite to the hostess, the server, etc so that everybody nearby could overhear:
Mom asks younger son if he likes the Executive Suite.
Son replies: "Nope, I like Steve's room better"
Mom retorts: "Yes, sweetie, but Steve's not in an Executive Suite"
Son replies loudly: "Yah, but they've got PlayStation and Steve's Mom and Dad don't make weird noises like you and Dad do!!"
Mom turns red; the whole restaurant is trying not to laugh -- I certainly had difficulties holding in a chuckle....
I was telling my sister you cannot make this s**t up!!
Oh mine, I shouldn't read this while @ the office!
While having drinks and afternoon snack at the Bulgari Bali (I wasn't staying there, just wanted to check-out the place) a coupla yrs ago I could see a lots of kids, 10-13 yrs max and a few parents relaxing by the pool. While taking some pictures here and there as only an obsessed FT'er could do, I overheard this conversation from these 2 boys and a girl, fellow italians (Milan Area):
"Well, nice place (Bulgari), you know, but I've seen better"! The other boy: "Yeah, well, but have you been Skiing in Dubai? You haven't!!!". the little girl: " I have....it was OKish (I totally agree! We've got Alps and Dolomites don't know why you would go skiing in a fake area in the middle of the desert")!
