Great Moments in Parenting

Booper bounced back incredibly today, after spiking a 105 degree fever yesterday and subsequently being diagnosed with pneumonia. (Don't get me started.) Through the miracle of modern anti-biotics, he was feeling back to his old self today, albeit a little fatigued from fighting this nasty bug. So we decided to go out for dinner to our favorite sushi place, Blue Fin Sushi on Clement St. http://bluefinsushisf.com/

For reasons that remain a mystery to me, The Boop kept talking REALLY LOUDLY throughout the meal. I kept having to remind him to use his "inside voice" and take it down a decibel or three. Granted, it was kind of noisy in there in the first place, but his voice really travels. Mostly, I think he was just excited to be out of the house after being cooped up indoors since Wednesday, unable to raise the energy to even play Chutes & Ladders.

After dinner, Boop needed to go to the potty. (One of the unfortunate side-effects of the antibiotics is frequent poops), so I escorted him to the John and back, with the Caboose in tow. (He wouldn't want to miss anything important.) Once we returned to the table, Booper announced, "Daddy. I just went to the potty. AND I HAD A BIG DIARRHEA."

Hey buddy, I don't think they heard you on the East Coast.

Super.

Needless to say, we paid our bill and slithered out the door.
