Or more correctly, two irritants.
I have two bones to pick with Utah moms. Not all moms. Just a couple. I know some really awesome Utah moms. But wait til you here this.
We went to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) with some friends to celebrate Nate's upcoming birthday (the big 2-5). While waiting for our seats outside, another rather large group of people of numerous ages joined in the wait. There were three girls probably around ten, elevenish that were there with parents and siblings and the like. One girl started thowing up in the trash can. I truely felt horrible for this little girl because her two little friends practically ran away from her desperately trying to call someone on the phone. Which is a good move but couldn't they give her a little more support. I digress. Anyway, when she is done, the girl is about to cry and we realize that she is waiting with her family which was not quite as evident earlier. And guess what. They stayed. At CPK. To eat. Are you kidding me?! Your kid is sick. Go home and have someone bring you something back. Not hard. Even I would do that and I think I'm too self-centered for children at the moment.
Next happening. Still at CPK. Everyone is finishing up eating. We're all having a good time. Nate is loving his birthday and then these two little probably ten, elevenish year olds (different from the first) come up to me and ask, "Um...how much longer do you think you'll be?" And I'm like, "huh?" but in my head I'm like "WTF?!" and then the kids are like, "It's my mom's birthday and we were wondering how much longer you'll be." Now, don't get me wrong. I was nice to said children. But really? Sending your little children to do your dirty work?! It's my husband's birthday too you know! Ugh.
So that is my rant. And in good debating (?) spirits I would definitely like to give a shout out to those Utah mom's I know who aren't retards. They teach their kids correct things, love them unselfishly, and don't disgracefully use them. So to all you awesome Utah mom's out there, Huzzah!

SERIOUSLY???? I would've punched him in the face.
Or I would've said, "Well, it's my husband's birthday too, so we're going to stay here for another three hours. Now go back and tell your mommy that. Thanks"
I hate children.
I would have been so pissed!!! Go you for keeping your composure. I would have stayed an extra hour just to piss them off. Little buggers.
Love it. :) I can't wait to become a terrible mom that sends my kids to do my dirty work, lol! And that poor kid puking- that's just horrible!!
It is the Utah dad's fault too, not just the mom's.
I agree with Rachel. . . this was a family event and anyone in the family could have stepped up to the plate. I hope you did not catch anything. Poor little girl. I am sure she was mortified and would have loved a hug and understanding from the mom and dad present. I think I might have had to leave. My stomach may not have been able to handle it. Love, GS
That's horrible! That's like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine or George is dared to go eat food off of someone's plate at a Chinese restaurant b/c they were waiting for so long! It's funny on tv, but not in real life! Well, if you were ever in a restaurant the same as us, trust me that our kids would NOT ask you to leave...they'd ask you to come join us! :)
Alright, that is just nuts! We really miss you guys and just so you know we are coming home at Christmas and are planning on seeing you guys at some point during that trip. We are home the 23rd - the 3rd of Jan. Pencil us in your busy schedules! :)
thats a bit gross about the sick girl poor kiddo. you forgot to mention the little girl who was like ten who had highlights, an outfit straight out of forever 21, a blinged out cell phone and, and "da boots wid da fur." i thought that was over the top. i dont which is worse though- when the little kids dress from the misses/jr. dept, or when the moms?
