No one wants to hear a screaming kid while they’re trying to eat. But a North Carolina restaurant is trying to do something about it: The Olde Salty restaurant has put up a sign that says, “Screaming Children Will NOT Be Tolerated!”

It’s an understatement to say that controversy has followed. This MSNBC report does a good job of breaking it all down.

Personally, I think ‘misbehaving’ children are more of a problem than screaming children: If a kid is screaming, doesn’t that suggest that something might be seriously wrong? But what do you think? Should more restaurants follow suit? Or should we all cut the parents a break, and maybe even offer to help out in some way?

Either way, the next time we roll our eyes at a screaming kid we should remember that we were all screaming children at some point.
