Food Snatcher

My friend Courtney and I took three toddlers and a six year old to Chick-fil-A the other day to play and eat lunch. We should have known better when there were twice as many kids as their were moms. Jake and her daughter (the 6 yr old) were playing on the indoor playground, I was ordering the food, and Courtney was sitting at the table with her 1 yr old and Will.

It was taking an extra long time to get our food for some reason. Probably because it was noon on a saturday!! I was bringing all the drinks to the table and was going to go back to the counter and wait for the food when I heard..

"Mine, no mine."

I turned around because I knew the familar voice of my two year old when I saw him holding a bag of food. This woman was just smiling saying, "no honey this is mine your mommy has yours."

Jake was very demanding and sure that this bag of food was his. I just wanted to melt on the floor of embarrassment. I walked over and handed the woman HER bag of food back and went on the explain to jake that our food was coming. He was very hungry and didn't understand.

Come to find out he had just walked out of the playground and went to the nearest table grabbed the bag of food off of it and kept going.

All a two year old knows is that when they are hungry they are hungry and that is the end of story.

Needless to say from now on, I have many snacks in our diaper bag and jake is going to come with me to order our food and stay with me until we get it. No more food theives in this family.
