NOTTINGHAM: Parenting skills on display in the park

Lovely Nottingham County Park (home of the Serpentine Barrens and the Mystery Hole) was full of picnickers, me included, on Saturday afternoon: all the pavilions were reserved, and you could smell hamburgers grilling and hear horseshoes clinking.
As we walked through the parking area in front of one of the pavilions, a family was just arriving. I overheard the dad telling his son, "You didn't set still in the restaurant, so you better not set still here!"
I had to laugh, because it actually made sense in a perverse sort of way.
