Children T wo pre-schoolers have been noisily chasing each other past my table at Starbucks for several minutes. I've tried to be patient, but finally there is one piercing shriek too many and it's time for another showdown with parents over truth, justice and the right to enjoy a grande skim latte in peace and quiet. Customers near me are as annoyed as I am by the kids' behavior, but as usual, nobody dares to speak up except me. This is not a playground. You're not being fair to the rest of us.
