the other day, garran and i met and had lunch with three of our four kids.
During our lunch, the kids were all very well behaved. We were even receiving smiles from other tables and one lady even leaned over to me and said, "you have adorable children!". I thanked her and was feeling pretty good about how the day was going. After lunch we got up and walked around the store for a minute because I needed to pick a few things up before I headed home.
Somehow between finishing our lunch and picking up our items and heading to the register, we went from three happy, well behaved kids....
to this.
Now granted. Only one was throwing a fit. But it was a good one. I was laughing to myself at the irony of the situation. Not even 15 minutes before, the people in the restaurant side of the store were about to hand us PARENT OF THE YEAR awards and Cutest Baby Ever!
Now we are getting the very opposite.
The dirty and disgusted looks of, "can't you get your kid under control?" or "what kind of parent are you?". so this has led me to a new conclusion.
I might add, that I had a good laugh all the way to my van once I came to this realization....
You are only one tantrum away from falling from Grace as a Successful Parent!!
