"Kiddie table" = bàn dành riêng cho trẻ nhỏ, thường tách riêng với bàn ăn của người lớn. Nghĩa bóng là tả tính cách ai đó trẻ con.

Ví dụ
“They’re good people. And in my opinion, they did their job. But as a litigator (luật sư tranh tụng) mentioned to me last week, they were at the kiddie table,” Ray said.

In 2016, when Republicans (Đảng Cộng hòa) also had a large field of presidential candidates (ứng viên tổng thống), those getting the lowest poll numbers seethed at being relegated (loại bỏ) to a debate frequently referred to as the “kiddie table” debate because it did not include any of the polling leaders.

You might also get the feeling that the people who are happily in love will look at you with pity (thương hại) — oh those poor miserable (khốn khổ) people forced to sit at the kiddie table, trying to have a good time but deprived (bị tước đoạt) because they don’t have any true love in their life. Even when we hate this lie, we sometimes buy into it anyways.
