Parenting woes

The adventures and misadventures of rearing triplets never ceases. Last night, we were at a local restaurant. The girls behaved so badly that we had to eat in shifts. One of us would eat while the other entertained the girls outside the restaurant on the patio. The waiter seeing our frustration, gave each girl a red balloon. That was great until Anna let her balloon slip away. As we watched the balloon drifting away, Anna became hysterical. When she threw herself against the large window of another restaurant, an employee of that restaurant came to my rescue. She said that she noticed that the girls were unhappy so she brought them Rice Krispie Treats to cheer them up. The waiter at Johnny Rockets replaced the missing balloon, and at least for a moment, evrybody was happy. I always thought that I would be mortified if my children misbehaved like the girls did last night. I vowed that it would never happen to me. Now, I realize that somethings are entirely out of your control like when and where a child throws a tantrum. If these are the worst of my parenting woes, I think that I can survive!
