“Today I threw in the towel and opted for dinner out. With all 3 boys…by myself. I was not in my comfort zone trying to wrangle all 3 on my own, especially after the twins did not nap today, but it was worth not having to cook to get out of the house.
Then I met an angel on earth, our waitress, Brandy. When The 4-year-old announced that he had to go to the bathroom ‘the baddest he has ever, ever, ever, ever had to go’ Brandy occupied the twins while I took him to the potty. (And to zero surprise to me he barely peed an ounce). I rushed back to the table to find that Brandy had both of the boys laughing and hi-fiving. I thought we were in the home stretch…and the lights went out in the restaurant and the tornado sirens started going off.
Since the place is basically all windows, everyone in the dining room was given a tour of the restaurant as we waited out the Tornado Watch in the manager’s office.
Without hesitation Brandy picked up Charlie and I grabbed Max and we held them until we got the all-clear. Jack entertained us all with interesting stories (like the one where apparently pop pop always calls him banana pants…which actually has never happened – things got weird)
To top off her 12/10 customer service, she brought us a new meal since ours had gone cold. 😍❤️ (plus a milkshake) Brandy is an all-star! Thank you so much for helping me out, as you said “It takes a village.”
