Birthday Surprise



So it was my birthday last week and my husband tells me he is going to take myself and the children out to dinner to celebrate. Yay!! Sounds great. The kids are good most of the time so what can go wrong?? A LOT!!!
Earlier that afternoon I went shopping then stopped at the gym. The two thing's I love! I come home and my husband was busy doing some yard work. He tells me that the kid's just went inside to watch cartoon's. I went inside to see that my 4 year old is M.I.A., I searched and found her hiding under her bed. She hides there sometimes to eat things she is not supposed too. You see, she is lactose intolerant, and after years of dealing with her digestional issues she is now obsessed with poop and everything related to POOP! So I wondered how this dinner was going to play out now that she has helped herself to a bad lactose snack!
We went to the “Iron Chef Restaurant”. It's a Japanese Steakhouse similar to Benihanas. Several strangers are sitting around a table…. The waitress comes to the table to take our drink order and gets to my 4 year old and she yells “POOP”! The waitress looked confused and the grey haired lady sitting next to me starts snickering. Great! that is going to fuel her POOP fire! I quickly reprimand her and ask for apple juice. The cook then comes out and I have to take her to the potty. We get back and sit down to eat and the POOR waitress comes back to see if we need anything else. My daughter starts to tell her too much information about her issue and that her butt now hurts. Everyone at the table is all big eyed staring at us as I am grabbing the key's for my embarrassing great escape. As we walk out she of course disrupts two other table's yelling "My butt hurts!".
This is why I do not like to eat out with the kids. Happy Birthday!
