It went something like this….

The Babe: Sleeping on the couch at, you guessed it 5:15 PM.

Mommy: “You want to go to Chili’s for dinner?”

The Big guy: “Are you freakin’ kidding me? She’s asleep over there.”

The Boss and M3: “Yeah, Yeah, we want to go.” ( To The Babe), “Get up, get up, get up!!!!!”

The Babe: Throwing the biggest shit fit you ever have seen. I mean, screaming, kicking and throwing some bows! Apparently she wasn’t ready to get up.

Mommy: “We are going to dinner damn it, LOL!! Get your shoes on girls.”

The Big Guy: “OMG, are you kidding me?( Loud sigh), If Mommy says she wants to go, lets go.”

The Babe: She has kicked it up a notch, she is really pulling out all the tricks!

The Boss: Hysterically crying in the middle of the kitchen floor, ” I can’t tie my shoes, I thought I knew how, I used to know how, now I can’t”. She is refusing help from us. She is sobbing, I thought she was going to throw up.

M3: “Daddy, Mommy, I am being good, right? Am I being a good listener? I am ready to go, I have my shoes and coat on.” She is looking around with a smirk on her face, enjoying her sister’s misery.

The Big Guy: “Come on, we are getting in the car.” Picks up The Babe who is still screaming and M3 follows still smiling away! Ever so gently places them in the car. He really has had an amazing amount of patience lately. Our neighbors probably think we are nuts, with all the commotion that goes on.

Meanwhile, still inside…

Mommy: “Let me help you, Daddy is in the car. I will teach you how to tie them again” The Boss is pulling her laces out of her shoes and sobbing away. I probably shouldn’t say this but, I was laughing. If you could have seen her face and the anger she had for these damn shoe laces, I just lost it.

The boss: “Fine, but I am not eating and I am going to cry the whole time”

Mommy: “OK, I don’t care, we are going to dinner as a family.” When did I turn into my Mom? LOL!!!!

A short car ride later…

The Babe has settled down but refuses to be put down, I swear she would rebirth herself is she could. M3 is still commenting on how good she is being and talking incessantly. The Boss is still carrying on about shoelaces and has now kicked her shoes completely off.

Do you think we went home? Hell no, we went in to ding dang Chili’s and ate dinner as a family damn it!!! By the way, the food sucked. Freakin’ figures!
