Feeling Childish

So, after a long weekend at church, one would say I was a little tired tonight. With being tired also comes irritability, grumpiness, short fuses...you get the picture. If you know me at all, you know that I wear my heart and my emotions on my sleeve. Tonight was no different.

Max and I went to one of our favorite local pizza joints to get a bite to eat for dinner. Sadly enough, there is no food in the house to be had at the moment. After putting in our order, Max scouted out a semi-private booth for us to enjoy our dinner semi-quietly. No less than 10 seconds after sitting down, the lovely child behind us starts walking around on the seat of the booth. Yes, her side of the booth and my side were connected. Yes, the booth was broken and every time she moved, it would shift like a teeter-totter. Thus, began the darting looks across the table to Max where I said with my eyes, "Are you serious?" He quickly asked me if I wanted to switch seats with him (good man that he is). I decided, I would grin and bear it. Big mistake. This went on for another 5 minutes until that family left. Finally. A sigh of relief. We get our pizza and I enjoy the yummy goodness.

Looking around and seeing the restaurant practically empty. I think to myself that I may possibly make it through the rest of the evening without having another teeter-totter fiasco.
(Cue large group of people walking in the door....loudly.)
(Cue family and inconsiderate mother)
(Cue the teeter-totter).

Seriously. They had the entire restaurant to choose from and they chose to sit in the broken booth directly behind me. Did I have a sign above my head saying "Annoy Me"?
(Cue eye roll to Max)
(Cue take home box)
(Cue me scooting out of the booth and moving around as much as possible, hoping to make her realize how annoying it was.) Childish...yes. :)

As I leave the restaurant, I turn to Max and confess my childish actions. He turns to me and says, "But I bet it felt pretty great to get her back, huh?"
(Cue us laughing hysterically in the parking lot as we walk away with our pizza)
(Cue curtain)

Somedays it's just plain ole fun to act like a kid!
