A 20-year-old man muttered that he wished an eight-month-old baby in a UK restaurant would "shut up" when the baby began to cry. However, the man's father overheard and reprimanded him, reminding him of his own past behavior as a child. The father then apologized on behalf of his son and helped the mother with her breakfast. The incident restored the mother's faith in parenting and humanity, and serves as a reminder that children are never too old to learn important lessons from their parents.
