Last night I remembered a conversation I had with Christopher when we were driving to IHOP the other day.
He was saying how much he loved IHOP and the food they had there. He really liked that he got a kids menu that came with crayons so he could color and do mazes etc. I remarked that that was cool that they had those things for kids. He sighed and said "I love fancy restaurants". hahaha
Is that sad? My kids think IHOP is a fancy restaurant! I wonder what that says about me as a parent? At the time I vowed that I would save up and take them somewhere a little more fancy than IHOP.
Last night as we were eating dinner, I was watching them eat. Fork and napkin in front of them and they are wiping their mouths on their shirt sleeves and picking at the food with their fingers which they promptly wiped on their pants. Then, of course, the belching starts and I get to hear the occasional fart.
Then I remembered why my kids have never been anywhere fancier than IHOP.

I say you stick to Ihop too! Could you imagine taking them to some place like the Melting Pot and having them Fart? That's why I can barely even take my husband! Ha!
LOL! Maybe fancier than IHOP will wait a little longer. :)
My kids think Village Inn is fancy. hehe
I can totally understand. I have eaten with your kids. Oh, and with you. Hee Hee.
My kids would enjoy IHOP. Don't think I've ever taken them. When we lived in California we frequented Denny's. Those were good times, pre-Weight Watchers. Our whole family loves breakfast for dinner. Especially since most breakfast foods are really desserts in disguise!
