I know that this is sooo off topic, but when we go out, (which is at least 1x a week), my children all order for themselves and have done so since they were little. They are now 14, 10, 10, 8, and 8 and have been doing this since they were little. Maybe because Dh is in the restaurant business, but we have always encouraged our children to order for themselves. To each his own.
