My wife - "Hell! Chuck E. ____ing Cheese can track which kid goes with which parent."
Yes I know were talking one super blinky room as opposed to hundreds of miles and different facilities but still it's a great point.
In our little one's journey of birthday parties her friends' parents try new things (we stuck with watersides) or just don't want to replicate what was done before and twice we had the misfortune of spending afternoons in a Chuck E. Cheese. ---Side note, google "Chuck E. Cheese fights" - they serve beer there and that ____ gets real---
They have a wristband and numerical hand stamping system that matches kids with their parent or whomever dropped them off. No match - the kids doesn't leave. We did see people drop their kids off and leave but hey they knew the kid couldn't leave until they came back. Don't get me started on the "salad bar".
Me: "Look at what we watch on PBS and National Geographic, people can track which eagle or tiger or penguin goes with another one"
Wife: "Exactly!!!"
There are lots of very professional people who could have put together some sort of system but Trump/Stephen Miller just did this on the fly. No plan. No planning.
As you can tell my wife is super fired up about this. Little one is at the grandparents so we can have these discussions.

he would have numbers tattooed on their little arms. I hear he had this idea from a previous life when he worked for the SS in Nazi Germany. Maybe that explains why he is fluent in German yet never took a single language class. 
They keep track of lumber, bananas and gazillions of other things, let alone people's children
