I would very much like to incorporate "bring the kids" shtick into some dates and am even willing to give up my anti-dating stance to do so. Anyone know of any good kid-rental places in the Chicago area?
The schtick would work much better if you could rent "the kids from hell." Have them just torment the hell out of the guy, yet you sit there completely unphased and try to carry on normal dating conversation. Or better yet start asking him questions about if he likes kids, what are his parenting philosophies....and give him some sob story about little Timmy really needs a father figure in his life......and just watch the guy squirm.

I would definitely need a friend somewhere surreptitiously filming this.stryker, you would be doing a good deed and a huge favor to this woman if you would e-mail her and very kindly explain to her that you were surprised she had brought her kids along.
Krista's DateIn this scene we see our unsuspecting dapper hero sitting at a table of a nice restaurant. He is filled with great anticipation of what the night will bring. He met this woman a couple of times previously and finally worked up the nerve to ask her out. He looks up at the door and sees her walk in. She looks absolutely stunning. He is looking forward to getting to know her better and spending his time with her this evening. She sees him and smiles. Suddenly, we hear the sound of two screaming childeren enter the restaurant behind her. She looks at them, bends down and points over to the table he is sitting at. They look at him adn then take off running towards his table as she follows in tow.
Hero: "Can this really be happening?" he thinks to himself.
The kids run over to his table screaming along the way. They begin pushing each other out of the way when she stops them.
Krista: "Kids...that's enough we're in a restaurant."
He just looks at the kids...then at her....completely dumbfounded. She looks at him and smiles.
Krista: "Hello there, sorry I'm late. Billy flushed the remote control down the toilet and Sally decided that our dog would look prettier if she was wearing my lipstick. Have you been waiting long?"
He tries to answer her, but is interupted by Sally.
Sally: "Hey, mister....do you think our mom is pretty?"
Hero: "well..uh...yes....."
Sally: "Are you gonna kiss her?"
Hero: "Well..I....um...."
Billy: "Eeeewww, they're gonna touch each other's tongues and wrestle on the bed naked!"
Krista: "Billy....that's enough! Besides, it's only our first date......you know I don't wrestle with guys naked in bed until the fourth date."
Billy: "Oh sorry mom.....I forgot."
Sally: "Are you going to be our new dad?"
The poor guy is flabergasted at this point and is caught completely off guard.
Hero: "Your new dad? Well...I...um..."
Krista: "Sally, you know you can't have a new daddy until I file for divorce and get those assault with a deadly weapon charges dropped."
She turns to our Hero and smiles at him.
Krista: "My ex threatened to spank my kids, so I cut his balls off with a meat cleaver. Can you believe that he would actually want to hrt my little angels?
We now see Billy picking his nose and trying to flick a booger off his finger. It seems to be stuck on there pretty good, so he wipes it off on the table cloth. Meanwhile, Sally is trying to reenact what Krista just told him on her baby doll with a butter knife from the table.
Sally: "You no good son-of-a-b#@ch...I told you if you ever try to touch my kids, I'll kill you!"
Our hero just looks on in horror.
Krista: "So...how do you feel about spanking childeren?"
Hero: "I....um...I wouldn't do it."
Krista: "See? I just knew you would make a good father the first time I saw you. Didn't I tell you that kids?"
Billy: "I thought you said he looked like he had a small package?"
Krista: "Now, now Billy.....it's not the size of the pen....but how you write your name."
Sally: "Hey....is that a roll of quarets in your pocket...or are you just happy to see our mom?"
Our hero flips out, jumps out of his chair and runs out of the restaurant never to be seen from again.
