This is another great installment in Larry Niven's series of alien bar adventures. I've never been certain as to whether the bar is located on Earth or on the Moon. Does anyone know?

This one involves some aliens who were carrying around some hibernating kids and pets. The hibernation capsules fail and now the bar becomes a nursery.

I found it a little hard to believe that any parent would allow their kids to play in that environment. Even crazier was the idea that his wife brought their kid into a bar full of wildlife without asking if it was safe.

But, all in all it was another fun exploration of the social norms of an alien society.

I look forward to more stories in this setting. My favorite so far is the one involving the super slow aliens (which look like rocks) who take months to form simple thoughts. They seem capable of the same level of thought as humans, but their thoughts are so slow that the only way to converse with them is via email (because you don't need to sit there for months while they finish a sentence).
