Did you hear that?

There is nothing that makes me feel more proud than when we can sit in a restaurant and my kids can remain human. When they can sit nicely and color. When I can sit and chat with my friend. When they use their “inside voices” and then use please and thank you with their friends sitting next to them, when they would like the pink crayon. And today, was one of those days.

And then came the, “sssshhhh”. And then it came again, this time a touch louder, “SSSHHHHH”.

Clearly, the woman shrouded in black with her back turned to us, shushing us, has never been near a real child before. Let alone five children under the age of five all eating at the same time. Clearly, this insane woman did not realize that a miracle was actually taking place before her eyes, the miracle of children behaving in a restaurant.

To my kids and my kid’s friends…you made me proud.

And to you, shushing woman in black…if you ever give birth, may you be blessed with the loudest and most unruly children ever created. That should shush you up!
