For anyone who's ever shopped at Tar-jay*

Last week, Joslyn coined the best quote of 2012. I believe her exact words were, "I would rather get a bikini wax than eat at a Chuck E. Cheese." What can I say? The girl speaks the truth.

But, you know...

While I'm proud to say that I've never stepped foot in a Chuck E. Cheese—if I did, I would totally upgrade the experience, like: "Mother and I took the girls to an adorable little eatery today called Charles Cheddar. Have you been?"—I am all for a restaurant that has decent food and will not make you feel like a leper if your children go apeshit at the dinner table. And so, last week, Grandma Nina and I took the littles to:

"A cute little factory up in Connecticut that specializes in CHEESECAKE!"

"Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner?" -Biggie {my girl's quoting him A LOT lately}



*Tar-jay {this link is for my aunt Nancy, who is undoubtedly googling "Connecticut-based dessert factories" and amassing a long list of concerns, including the unsanitary conditions of factories, as well as kid-friendly restaurants that specialize in bulgur wheat and organic poultry.}

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: You are incredibly cunning :-)

Amanda Blair said...

hahahahahahahha you need to have a show or something.

Chessa! said...

The world according to Bee. love it.

remember that SATC ep when Miranda says "I'd never bring Brady here. Mommy needs two hands to eat her $8 cake." That's true. Except that was a few years ago and today dessert at a restaurant like that costs at least double. #ifeelold

in other news, apeshit kids at the dinner table are awesome. You don't think so? I personally love it when Lucia starts screaming her brains out for no apparent reason in the middle of a restaurant. Oh and I really love it when people look at us like "can't you shut that kid up?!"

Chessa: Those "shut that kid up" people were me, approximately 2.5 years ago. Now I feel bad for the parents! Especially on planes. I had no idea! So sad.

Of course, I will say that I never take my kids to nice restaurants either, and more because of what Emily said when the three of us were out to dinner last month... it's not fair to ruin someone else's meal with screaming kids! That said, I can't wait till my kids are old enough to do fun things like take them to a special sushi dinner or a fancy dessert. Knowing Devon and Blake, that will mean Blake houses six sushi rolls and Devon picks at a piece of ginger!!

Miss you. ;)

OH--and GOOD LUCK tonight, sweet pea!

BTW are you reading this? Or am I sending my response out into the ether? I have to email you.

Oh, and Amanda/Beefy/Deanna: big kisses!! xoxoxo
