We went to Peggy Sue's BBQ with Danny and Kelly, and your Mother ordered chopped brisket, corn and mashed potatoes. When all was said and done, your Mom's plate was SPOTLESS. We're not talking "I ate all the food, and there's some sauce still left on my plate." We're talking Clean. Plate. Club.
Your Mom would have given their dishwasher a run for their money. The only way that plate could have been cleaner would have been if Holly started eating the plate itself. But then we might have had to pay for that.
I think a major growth spurt may be coming very soon, to the dismay of BBQ joints in the greater DFW area.
Dinner was also interesting for another reason: crazy kids in the restaurant.
A couple of families had 3 young boys between them, and those kids were being pretty good for kids at restaurants. By "pretty good," of course, I mean, these root-beer-drunk, sugar high heathons were dumping their food on the floor, talking really loudly and wandering around the restaurant all willy nilly.
In reference to the Lords of the Flies, Kelly said "That'll be you guys soon!"
And, in all honesty, I can't wait! Hopefully you won't get all hopped on root beer all the time, but these things happen!
And, those kids' behavior was way better than the behavior of a couple in relation to their toddler that we witnessed a few days before.
When we were out to a Tex-Mex dinner with your Uncle Joe a few days ago, the family at the table next to us was just letting their little girl toddler wander around. No one was watching her, no one was stopping her from going up to other people's tables and putting touching the salt and pepper shakers, pulling on the table cloths, etc. We plan on teaching you to stay in your chair at a restaurant to avoid these types of displays (and it is possible, Uncle Taff and Aunt April do it with Addison!)
And you'll be thankful for these efforts when you hear what we'll be keeping you from doing. Listen to what happened next with this little girl:
Feeling tired from all that walking around, she decided to lay down on the restaurant floor. On her stomach. She made snow-angels there for a few minutes until someone came by and picked her up. But in being picked up, the little Toddler spilled a whole bag of dry cereal on the floor.
Now here's where we enter bizarro land. About five minutes later, the little girl was on the loose again and, once again, belly flopped on the floor. But this time she was, apparently, hungry. She proceeded to eat the cereal off the floor. Without using her hands.
That's right. She was bobbing for cereal off of a dirty restaurant floor.
With that, she earned herself a membership in the Clean Floor Club, and her parents were none the wiser. That's a club I hope we're all gonna stay out of...but who knows how hungry your mother may get!
