Common Mom

This past weekend, I took the kids to Rotelli for dinner. I wasn’t in the mood to cook and I was in the mood for pasta. Now I must brag and say that my children are well-behaved in restaurants - most of the time. There have been incidents where they’ve lost privileges, but we’ve never had to get To Go boxes and leave before we finished our meal.

So the three of us are sitting there happy as clams - me just hangin’ out and Jason and Keira quietly playing with their pizza dough. Our wonderful waitress brought their drinks and was talking with the little one in pigtails, whom the waitress thought was the sweetest thing on the planet. Keira of course was workin’ it with all her might - she’s actually earned herself free dessert in the past! Waitress left to go get my glass of wine, and upon returning, began talking with eldest one in camoflauge, who was also hamming it up - or so I thought. In truth, he was just a distraction for my youngest, who CLAIMED to be picking up her napkin off the floor under the table. Just as Waitress was getting ready to walk away from the table, the little one in pigtails popped up from under the table and blew in her straw, shooting the wrapper off the end and right into the forehead of Waitress! I was horrified! However, the waitstaff standing at the wait station seemed to think it was hilarious, and, after rolling on the floor laughing, brought us an extra basket of the garlic rolls the kids love so much.

So much for free dessert!
