Yes, that was my child…

Posted on June 27, 2008

who totally threw the fit at the restaurant.  You know the one, she tossed all the toys I carefully selected so she would be entertained while sitting still for a long period of time.  And yes, she was the one yelling at the top of her lungs, “NO ICE CREAM!” because how dare I offer her something delicious after she did such an excellent job of finishing off the mac and cheese that I heated up at home and then brought to the restaurant to insure she ate SOMETHING.  And yes, I was the mother trying desperately to inhale her dinner while my family looked on, amused but mildly embarrassed, as the angry two year old shoved everything I offered her on the floor and then broke down into hysteric tears.  Before you ask…I did remove her for a moment and gave her a “time out” outside to calm down.  And NO, IT DID NOT HELP!  And by the way, I totally blame all of you for the nasty and judgemental looks when I brought the screaming child back into the restaurant so I might be able to finish MY DINNER!!  And no, I am not bitter about it.  So, shut up.
