Last night I decided to be 'cool mommy!' something I rarely am. I tend to be the "eat your broccoli!" parent, while daddy is the "who wants pizza!" parent...sigh.
Anyways, last night after a 1 hour and 15 minutes of soaking wet soccer and a busy, busy day I decided a dinner out in a restaurant would be super fun!
here are a list of things that went on to make me believe otherwise (who was it that said hindsight is 20/20???)
things I actually said at the table...
"please do not eat like a wild beast."
"please, do not take your shoes and socks off at the table."
"Pleaseeee, do not take your pants off in the restaurant!"
no joke I'm serious.
One of my children asks to go to the bathroom. As we enter the bathroom he is shifting oddly so I ask "do you need to poop?"
(if you don't have kids this may seem like an odd line of questioning in my world this just tells me weather I should get comfy.)
he says...wait for it..."no I just need to check. I think I might already have a little"
me: "what the ???" (internal voice ...grant me the serenity...)
after 2 seconds in the stall returns and says "nope!" and heads for the door
me:!?!?! wash your hands!!!"
him: "but I didn't do anything!!!"
me:"wash your hands"
glamorous I know!!!
We finally finish all the table antics and head for the car. As we get in G goes into total hysterics, sobbing, head thrown back, tears rolling, absolute melt down. I ask "honey what is wrong??? are you ok???" he replies through shaking jaw and wails "I don't know!!!!!"
Then AJ turns to me and says "I feel sick!"
We drive home with the children fluctuating back and forth between sobbing and arguing to laughing and hilarity. (all the while AJ holding a barf bag)
We are going back to take out and broccoli!
