Tominator Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Wife got some bummer news about her job the other day, so I offered to take her to dinner. She loves going to dinner like most of us love to hunt. Anyway, I ask the kids who wants to go, and only my daughter takes me up on the offer. So Katie and I go pick up Matt, my 5 year old. Get to daycare, and he's "on green" which is good. So we're all happy at this point. Off we go to the restaurant to meet my wife. Matt crashes on the way to restaurant, which is cool, but he has to wake up when we get there, not cool. So we get a table right away, sit down, and guess what he has to do? right, potty. Off we go. The urinals are too high for him to reach, but he insists on putting his little winky up there. It was kind of cute actually. He has a little modesty streak to him, he won't let you help anymore, so I backed off, and he's up on his tippy toes (too cute) trying to pee. Gets done, tries to wash his hands, but the sink's too high, then he gets upset because "I wanted to get the soap..." which according to him "looks like blue jello." So, back to the table, he drops his crayon, down he goes to get it, comes up crying, bumps his head, cries harder, he can't find the crayon, I get upset and tell him to stop crying for the 2nd time in 20 minutes; he won't stop, so down I go to get the crayon. I find the crayon under my daughter's foot wedged between the carpeting and the wall, I come up, bump my head, I'm upset, slam the crayon down, break the tip, and now I'm more upset with myself because I broke the tip. Matt starts crying again because I broke the tip. Time to order, he doesn't want anything. Wife orders chicken fingers for him, he cries, he wanted grilled cheese. He stops crying and says he has to go potty again! So, we turn to our daughter. Katie lets out a heavy sigh and takes him. At least 10 minutes pass, no children, I get up to go check on him. As I get up, I see them coming at me. Matt's got a grin a mile wide, Katie is nearly in tears and says "he would not listen to me..." I smiled and said "welcome to my world, eat your lobster." See what you have to look forward to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: Future Parents--You Better Read This Glad my kids are much better behaved than yours.... Actually, that sounds about right. Never take a 4 year old out in public after he wakes up from an unplanned nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: Future Parents--You Better Read This I hoped it was a poop story. I love poop stories. Still had me laughing. Luke's already torturing his 10year old sister at 18 months. Not looking forward to 5 and 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
