A dinner and an alarm...

My father-n-law and his wife decided they wanted to take us to dinner. They picked a great restaurant called . I don't think they will ask us to do this anytime soon. Why you ask? Well…
When we get there, we put our names in and it should only be a 10 minute wait. It’s 6:30 on a Friday evening. So 10 minutes is not a big deal. Well…we had been waiting for quite a bit and Paul was looking for something to entertain Connor with on his phone. You see, Connor was the one he was really supposed to be watching while we were waiting. I was nursing Sage (before we were to be seated). I’m sure you see where this is leading. You’d be wrong though. What is the most embarrassing thing your kid has ever done in a restaurant? Yelled they have to go to the bathroom loudly? Passed gas loudly? That is nothing compared to what my son did. Where we were waiting was right by the entrance/exit. The fire alarm is there. And as I mentioned Paul was looking in his phone for something to entertain Connor instead of watching his every move. Connor’s next move was to pull the fire alarm. Yes, pull the . In this restaurant that is full because it is dinner time on a Friday night. Everyone starts looking around. Including me. I look over and Paul has this weird face and Connor is covering his ears. I ask Paul if he did it. He points down to Connor. I tell him he needs to go tell the people at the desk so they don’t start evacuating people. This one man had to carry his son outside because the alarm was LOUD!! Fire alarms don’t sound the way they used to. They have more of a chirpy sound. Maybe just because this was in a restaurant. Maybe because it added to the embarrassment. Once Paul went and told someone at the front desk, the manager came over to look at the alarm. He didn’t have the key to make it stop completely. Every so often a loud chirp would come out of the ceiling. The first time it let out a chirp everyone stopped and looked at us…I yelled we didn’t touch it again! Connor kept his ears covered the whole time. To add insult to injury Sage was done nursing at this point and I just had her standing in my lap. What do you think happened next knowing the history of restaurants and Sage? Yep~ She pooped. Loudly. We finally got seated…no one else wanted to leave like I wanted to. I asked our waiter if the system was fixed. He said he didn’t know what happened but that the fire department came and took care of it. I then pointed to Connor and said he is what happened. He smiled. Paul told me that during one of Connor’s bathroom trips that a man high-fived Connor and said that was awesome-that he pulled the fire alarm. Stormy was concerned the police were going to come and get him. We told her no. We ate our wonderful meal and started to relax about it. Things could’ve been worse. At least the sprinkler system didn’t go off.
