What A Shame

So today I will pick up a bit of information that just became fresh. Tonight, since we had not been in a long time, and because of my work schedule, we might not get back there for a while, Daddy decided to take the family to IHOP. On the way out the door it came to me. CJ is now able to eat from the kids menu, which at IHOP is supposed to be free as long as you purchase an adult entree. So we get to IHOP and place our order. For CJ we ordered one pancake and one scrambled egg. When the bill came we saw that we were charged for it and I tried to figure out why. So Mommy read some materials and noticed that you had to order a bigger kid's meal to get it free.

I was not irate but felt that the waitress should have told us that. I mean come on now, one egg and one pancake you pay for and you could have got fruit, sausage, eggs, and pancakes for free. You tell me what you would have selected. So when I arrived home I did what any other normal citizen would do. I sent an email to corporate for them to explain to me why they charge for less food. It just makes no sense to me. In a past life I would have made a big scene and demanded justice right there in the restaurant but since I have matured I just paid the bill and voiced my opinion in another manner.

Will anything get done, I do not know. What I do know is that CJ will be ordering from the "Just For Kids Menu" as it is called and not charged for from this point on. If she wastes food then so what since IHOP does not seem to mind. With that said, we all enjoyed the food we had. CJ has to learn not to chew with her mouth open though. She had a good day at the sitter and Daddy and CJ hung out this evening when Mommy took a nap. I must add that CJ tired her old man out and he even dozed off for a minute. We did have fun and I even read a book to her. It was all about simple food items with pictures to help with her visual recognition of things.

So now CJ sleeps and Daddy is finishing up his blog so that he can sit back and kick it with Mommy. So you all continue to pray, if you recall the bible says the prayers of the righteous availeth much. As always prayers continue to change things, people, and situations!

NOTE TO CJ: Hey Princess, if I ever to forget to order from the right menu at IHOP make sure you do not. That is until you are 13 and you have to order from the real menu.
