1. Children throwing tantrums can often be placated with an iPhone and a cartoon.
2. Teaching your children to count is something which perhaps should be done at home:
Father: Ok, so to ten now.
Girl: ONE!
Father: Two...
Girl: TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Woman sitting opposite me looks at the girl in a 'I'm going to wrap my hands around your surprisingly strong vocal chords and squeeze until the life leaves your eyes' way.
Girl: SIX! SEVEN! SIX! SEVEN!
Father (quietly): You needa be quiet, Tayla. It's a train. What's after seven?
Girl: SIX SEVEN SIX SEVEN
Father: Eight..
Girl SIX SEVEN EIGHT!
Father's phone rings. He answers it, as his daughter is silent and watching him.
Father (on phone): What? Nah, I'm on the...on the fuckin Greensborough line. I'm getting off at Clifton Hill. Nah, yeah....ok.
Hangs up.
