So, I am offically the mom who allows her child to play with rocks, we all are aware of that. However, my son has recently discovered the little crawly things that are around the sidewalks... rollie pollies, ants, bugs in general. He loves them, he as even eaten a rollie pollie or two in the last few weeks. However, recently we discovered something more than rollie pollies...
A little background and insight into our house in the last few days - I am not going to lie, Andrew and I had one of those "married moments" you know the kind. The moments that follow those "discussions"... needless to say things were a bit tense. We had not said much to eachother, mostly because we process the "discussion" for a while before we bring it up again to offically resolve the issue. So, we were "processing" and in the midst of it all, we decided to have dinner from one of our favorite burritto places in town. I am not going to name the resturant, but it is similar to Chipolte...
So, I pick up Isaac from day care, drop him off at home and run to get our to go order. I arrived with food in hand and we sit down at the table to eat. Conversation is pretty much as simple as it can get, and then, Isaac pipes up and starts talking to daddy - Daddy starts talking back and happened to look down into his plate before taking the next bite and noticed something a bit strange... I have included a picture for your assistance.
Do you see anything strange?
If not, I have given you a tiny little hint in the picture below...
Yes, you see that right, there is a large, black bug in the middle of Andrew's yumminess...
Now, if you know me, you know that I will take a hamburger back to McDonald's - I will take milk back to the grocery store, I will basically return anything and everything possible - so yes, I went back to the resturant, food in hand. And I must say, I was actually very nice. Jesus woudl have been proud. The employee gave us our money back for the meals and offered us a coupon for a free meal within the next seven to ten days!
Needless to say, we will not be returning in time to get our free meal, but Jesus blessed our house with laughter and great conversation last night. All is well in the Vigil home, the issues have been resoloved, we ordered pizza for dinner and I might want to caution any of you out there to look before you bite into your food, the next time things are tense in your home. You never know the kinds of blessings Jesus has in store for you.
Eww! That bug is disgusting! I don't know what I'd have done if I'd found that on my plate! :O
