Restaurant Physics

There is something about going out to a restaurant that means Ellie can not stop leaning on me. I can only think of three possible explanations for this:

1. Mommy's gravity pull is greater when in restaurants and little objects like Ellie have no choice but to be pulled in.

2. The air pressure inside a restaurant affects Ellie's inner ear, and thus her equilibrium is all messed up and thus she needs to lean on me for support because she's dizzy.

3. The flooring and ceilings inside restaurants are actually slanted. As one grows older, your body automatically adjusts for this restaurant skew, but since Ellie is so young, she has yet to master this skill. While everyone else leans to straighten themselves with respect to their surroundings, Ellie remains in a true vertical position.

Which do you think it is?
