Do as I say not as I Do

Working as a waitress, yes I am still serving even though I am done with school. I just really love the people I work with and believe it or not I actually enjoy serving...Anyways while serving I hear and see some pretty strange things. Not that I intentionally eavesdrop, but sometimes you can't help what you overhear, even if you want to! Here's the highlight of tonight... I was serving a family with three kids and their parents. When I approached the table the kids all asked me for coke. The Mom immediately scolded them explaining that they need to drink water since coke is really bad for them. After a detailed description of the evils found in soda pop the kids agreed that they would stick with water. The Mom then turned to me and said "I'd like a diet coke!" I couldn't believe how hypocritical she was! I guess she is a firm believer of the "Do what I say not what I do" parenting approach. I could see the look of frustration on her kids faces but none of them spoke up. I just nodded my head and went to get her "evil" drink, which by the way I refilled about 5 or 6 times...
