Chopsticks and Class...


Last night we went for a family dinner at an okonomiaki restaurant. It was a classy joint with fun leather couches that surrounded a low table. We prepped the kids to be really brave about "trying new foods". They all did really well, even though some of what we ate was a mystery. Our biggest quest was keeping Jonas from drawing spit pictures on the glass windows ("see, it yooks yike a ghost mommy"). We all use chopsticks well and Jonas is improving.... he was able to pick up a couple pieces successfully. The evening went off without a hitch until Jonas gagged on a long noodle and BARFED up everything he had eaten... "see, I tode you I didn't yike it". Yuck. We played it cool and used the washcloth napkins to casually wipe him up and then asked for the check. So much for trying new foods.

These are the wet wash clothes they give you at restaurants to wash your hands before you eat. What do you think of this for an advertisement... "not only for washing hands, these classy restaurant washcloths will also clean up....."
