Yesterday we were in the city and went to McDonalds so Isobel could get a Happy Meal and "Build-a-Bear" toy... Of course John, her stepdad, refuses to eat at that particular restaurant. So Isobel and I went in and I got two "take out" meals. Then John drove to the nearest A & W and went in to order what he wanted to eat.
Meanwhile, Isobel and I sat in the gold station wagon waiting for him to return. She happily ate one of her chicken nuggets and then urgently exclaimed "I can feel some pee!"
Since she is newly potty trained, I instinctively knew there was no time to waste. I grabbed the keys from the ignition and got her seatbelt unbuckled and got her swept into the restaurant -- almost in one motion. I thrust the keys into John's hand and we were off to the ladies room.
When we emerged I told Isobel to go and look and see if she could find John because I wasn't sure if he would be in the lobby or waiting for us in the car. She went for a quick glance at the booths and was back by my side almost immediately.
I didn't have to ask if she had found John because she excitedly exclaimed in a loud voice "I don't see GRAY HAIR anywhere!"
So we went to the car and, sure enough, her patient grey haired stepdad was waiting there for our return!
I just had to laugh....
A moment to remember, for sure!
