I had the great opportunity to tag a long on Brian's work trip to Arizona. It was a nice get a way and my mom was so great to come and stay with the kids. They had a blast and didn't want us to come home. I went to 2 years of High School there so I was able to hang out with 2 wonderful friends and I went to High School with my friend Jen in Sandy and she happens to live there now. We went to lunch and had a great time until this happened and I honestly was flabbergasted. Do people really think this way!!
Disclaimer... due to my laziness in blogging lately I have totally copied this from my friend Jenifer's blog I just don't have the patience to type it out when she clearly did a great job of explaining.
We headed to TGIF's for lunch. A good family fun spot, right? Two friends had some kids with them. Three kids total, and I can honestly say that I have never been with such well behaved kids. I almost forgot they were with us, they were so quiet! Imagine our horror when the lady behind us started ripping into us for one little girls behavior. Granted, she wasn't in her high chair, but she was quietly playing peek-a-boo with her mom behind her chair. This woman tells us that we are bothering all the patrons and that we need to watch our kids and discipline them. After our stunned silence and quietly talking amongst ourselves, she rips into us again! And told us we shouldn't be in a restaurant like that and we should stick to Chuck-E-Cheese. Say Whaaaat?!?!? Liz was so kind and patient, but you could tell her head was about to explode off of her body. And, once again, out in the parking lot, it started up again. But just to make it clear, our waiter and hostess went out of their way to let us know that she was a you-know-what and they thought the kids were great.
I was so mad afterwards.. and since I am so non-confrontational I said nothing
out loud but was screaming on the inside. Good thing I have friends who speak up.
The craziest part was when we walked out side they had a huge sign taller than
me that said "kids eat FREE" duh lady!! I wish I could lock her in a restaurant
in Utah with a bunch of moms eating lunch all towing at least 3 kids all whom
are not sitting or being quiet! All I can say is what goes around comes around!!

It was a fun lunch, despite the biotch. I want royalties, by the way ;)
Man.... that lady should come dine with us. Jack and Grace are usually running in circles by the time we leave!!
Everytime I hear that story I want to kill that crazy woman. I bet she goes home and kicks her dog to. Jerk. Oh well at least she lives in he hottest place ever. I bet that is why she is always mad. Figures!!!
That is so crazy! She must have a very lonely life! Kids are what make life so FUN! Sounds like a great trip...depsite Oscar the Grouch!
That is crazy! Some people are so weird! Those poor kids probably felt really bad. What a meanie!
That lady sounds like a total nut job. How infuriating!
OK you know I would have been all over that one!!! Good thing you are a lot nicer than I am!
Some people are so tacky! I took Sadie to a movie with me when she was first born. I sat down next to a grumpy old lady who gave me the death stare and shouted..... you are not bringing that baby to this movie are you? You are crazy to bring a baby to a movie..... and so on. I scooted over and said .... perhaps I should sit right next to you then? And don't worry..... She doesn't cry THAT much.
I sort of wanted to punch her.
Oh, you are nice. I would have probably not refrained from giving her a piece of my mind. :) I'm glad that besides that you had a great time!!
Oh that is frustrating!!!
I am sorry that you and Liz had such a awful experience.
Why are people so nontolerant of children?
I don't get it!
