Subway Story

Okay, so after the field trip my boss texted me a couple of things she needed on a job site and she said when you come here can you please bring me a sandwich. So, EG and I went to Subway to pick up the sandwich. Let me remind you that it is lunch hour and it is crowded with people waiting in line to order. Meanwhile, EG is going up to each table and reading them out of her new coloring book that she just got from the pumpkin patch. Saying things to the people sitting down trying to eat their lunch, "cows drink juice", "cows eat milk". I keep reminding her that she needs to wait in line with Mommy. Anyways they finally made the sandwich and I get to the register to pay and EG tells me that she needs to go potty. So I asked the cashier to please put the sandwich to the side and I will be right back after I take EG to the bathroom. She does go potty and I flush the toilet. Then she screams bloody murder because she did not get to flush the toilet herself. She is very independent these days!!! I am trying to calm her down - not working still screaming. This old lady comes to the bathroom and opens the door and says, "can i help you?"
I said "no", she is just at that age"! I was not sure what to tell her because I am sure she thought I was in there strangling her or something!?! I take EG out of subway still screaming and get half way to the car and realized oh no I forgot the sandwich. So I have to get EG settled down and go back in there. I go back in and ask for the sandwich. The workers told me that someone else must of picked it up. So, now they have to make me another sandwich. Needless to say I got it to my boss and said "hope you enjoy!"

OMG Andrea that was sooo funny! I know it was not funny to you and I feel your pain. It never fails I will take the kids by myself out to eat and we will sit there for 15 minutes and ask if they have to go to the bathroom and the answer is always NO. Then the food gets to the table and the first thing out of their mouth is, "I have to go to the potty" - are you kidding me people! So, I feel your pain.
