Yesterday, we went to eat at Red Robin, my son's fave restaurant, where he always has the Clucks and Fries (chicken tenders and french fries). Red Robin is a Seattle chain, with a large part of its business marketed for kids. It welcomes birthday parties, where the waiters sing its unique birthday song, and it has the Red Robin in costume -- who, just like Chuckie Cheese, scares the bejesus out of the little kids. My youngest daughter, who these days is sometimes a kid and sometimes an adult when it comes to menus, got a kid's menu. You know, with word puzzles, tic-tac-toe layouts, mazes, and figures to color in. It used to come with a pack of 4 crayons -- red, blue, yellow and green. Yesterday it had a pack of two -- red and blue.
