This evening the mrs, lil boo, and I went out to eat at a local restaurant.  This was our latest attempt to get lil boo adjusted to eating out.  So far, he loves eating at IKEA.  We thought this time, try something close to us.  Well, across the street is a place called Bravi, at least it used to be…..the other week it was anyhow when we ordered take out.  Now it has become Streets of New York.  Oh well…..get ready for my rant….

As we sit down our 3 Brain Celled waitress comes over to greet, yadda yadda yadda with us.  Right off the bat, the mrs. gets lil boo’s order placed.  We know he will be getting ancy and wanting to go go go go.

3 Brain Celled waitress was more concerned with us ordering appetizers instead of placing his order while we looked over the menu.

After the mrs. insisted she just get his order into the kitchen and come back…..dumb dumb (oh I’m sorry was that not nice?)  I do not care….

Back came 3 Brain Celled waitress asking if we wanted appetizers again.  No thank you.

We then place our order….

The mrs. – garden salad and cheese pizza with Iced Tea.

lil boo – already ordered…but she had to ask again….duh!

Myself – a calzone with bell peppers and sausage with a coke.

3 Brain Celled waitress then repeats the order back to us….3 times….which she then apparently thought I wanted diet coke….NO!

Off she goes…..

Trying to withhold my laughter at 3BCW, lil boo is fascinated with the large screen tv’s showing a basketball game.  I had no idea he was soooooo into basketball.  He was standing up on his seat pretending to shoot a ball into the hoop.  It was great play by play action…..even better…the mrs. and I do not watch sports…(well besides golf on my part).  This guy loves it…who knew!  I need to get a camera shot of him standing next to SHAQ!!  SHAQ if you read this give me a call!!  Or tweet me @peasandbananas

Back to our food….

lil boo’s plate of spaghetti arrives….HOT!  Oh dear god call the police…HOT food…lil boo does not like his food hot….off the mrs. goes to cool it down one bite at a time.

Next up…the mrs. garden salad.

This is where the evening gets absolutely friggen’ annoying by 3BCW.

The mrs. ordered a garden salad, right?  Alright, how f’ing amazing can a garden salad be???  Is it GODS greatest creation on earth?  Did the POPE Bless it?  Did the Dalai Lama present a teaching over a garden salad?  Is it better than sex?  My god 3BCW, lay off the friggen’ garden salad….she came around at least 5 times asking,

Is the garden salad good?

How is that garden salad?

That garden salad is pretty good.

Did you enjoy the garden salad?

That’s a great garden salad.

WTF 3BCW did you take a crap in the garden salad??? Lay off!! It’s a simple no frills salad…get over yourself.

In the meantime, lil boo is just inhaling his spaghetti.  I had to ask a gentleman for more napkins since the sauce was going all over his face and hands.  Well, that gentleman happened to be the manager.  See the only time 3BCW came around was to ask about the f’ing salad.  Not lil boo’s spaghetti, not the calzone, and not the pizza.  Until towards the end, she noticed the manager had stopped by our table three times with napkins and wipes for the lil guy.  This guy was ultra cool, he had a ‘clue’ if you know what I mean.

So, 3BCW shows back up and says,

I see my manager came by and brought you napkins, is there anything I can bring you?

I think you are a tad bit late dingle-berry.

3BCW then proceeds to ask us if we have any room for dessert?  I am only half way through my calzone, the mrs. is still enjoying the WORLD FAMOUS garden salad and cheese pizza and lil boo is still munching away on some spaghetti.  The mrs. politely responds no thank you we will pass.  **This is where I get pissed off**

3BCW has the audacity to say well you know we do have children’s desserts as well…….WTF did you just not hear what the mrs told you?  No thank you.

As time goes on, lil boo gets himself into some ancy pants and wants to go.  Again, our hero of the night, the manager catches wind and rushes right over.  See I told you he had a ‘clue’.  He motions for the check so we can be on our merry way and not have a ‘meltdown’ with our toddler.

Off in the distance I see him (the manager) with 3BCW having a little discussion…pointing fingers in our direction.  I do believe someone was getting their buttocks chewed out.  Which was very much called for, not that we were a pain, just that she was not around and the manager spent more time hanging out with us….well lil boo to be exact!  Not to worry though I did leave a tip for 3BCW….why? Sometimes in life, I am a nice guy.

But, why do I call her 3BCW?

1. First brain cell was to apply all the make-up on her face…….she looked like a carny!
2. Second brain cell was to insert odd looking ‘ear ring’ above her lip.
3. Third brain cell was to ask how the Garden Salad was over and over again.

I would give her a fourth brain cell, but I think she was born with the head-band on so I will not give any credit for that, it looked so 80′s -ish.

Anyhow, that was our evening out with lil boo.  He did rather well!!  His antics at home right now are another story……

Enjoy!

Welcome to the YOB Years!  Where all you need is a BIG Hug!
