Why Do These Things Always Happen at McDonald's?
Why oh why do all the weird things happen at McDonalds? So today we had a lovely playdate with some friends (Rechkemmers who I watch and Lumbs, my new vertiginous friend), and since it was getting close to lunch time and we were still 20+ minutes from home, I decided to take the kids to McDonald's on the way home. We went in because I needed to change E's diaper and thought that would be more relaxing than tossing nuggets over my shoulder and hoping Elly caught them. So we went in and I was SuperMom carrying tray and Esias and drink and pushing the high chair to our table...ok that has nothing to do with my story but I just feel proud of myself when I do that :) Anyhoo...after we were all done, I promised Elly if she used her manners, she could stand in line and ask for a different mermaid toy. She was waiting in line and Esias was sort of making a circle around and around the others in line. He caught the eye of a 70ish lady who patted his head and tried to get a smile out of him. Originally he was wearing a onesie with a jacket over it but we got warm so he was only wearing pants and a tight onesie. The next lap around the lady leaned over to him, grabbed at him and intentionally pulled on his feeding tube (that sticks out of his shirt) and said, "What's that under there, hmmm?" in a baby voice, as if to play with him. She literally pulled on it. I quickly leaned down and said, "He has as feeding tube!" and she stopped, and said, "Well that's not a plaything, is it?" It was very awkward! I was glad it didn't hurt Esias because I know she would have felt awful (and so would he) but still...note to the public- don't pull on appendages of children who aren't your own! That could have been a big disaster had the G-tube decided to come out!
