We started taking my niece out to upscale restaurants from the time she was a month old. As she came to the toddler stage, my sister always had a small bag packed with her favorite things. She sat with us quietly, talked to us, didn't misbehave. On one occasion we went out to supper with them along with my best friend and her daughter. My niece sat quietly, my god daughter ran around the entire restaurant, screaming, yelling, carrying on. The two are the very same age, what a difference! I was ready to walk out and dammit we were there for my birthday. I swear, the dinner from hell. I already suffer from severe anxiety. Imagine the great time I have in a grocery store. Last week, I had 3 kids, totally out of control, running up and down one aisle. They blocked me at every point, made me stop suddenly, swerve and start to talk to myself. Get to the end of that aisle, think I'm done with them, nooooo !!! They end up at the back of the store, down the next aisle, right where I'm headed. Mom in all this time is ignoring them, just shopping along and talking to them as if all is hunky dory. I'm ready to do serious bodily harm, my teeth are gnashing, my head is pounding. Get to the check out, guess who's behind me??? MM shows up then, I hand him my wallet, tell him I'm leaving the store NOW and he can finish the order.
