Courtney's Way of Thinking

Yesterday Bryan wanted to treat the family to dinner out. I was pretty excited because I was tired and restless and a meal out sounded great. But Bryan soon regretted saying anything. Courtney's favorite restaurant is Applebee's, Ethan's favorite food is either pizza or a cheese sandwich from Sonic, and Bryan felt like Panda Express. As the discussion moved on there was no way to sway Courtney from wanting Applebee's and Ethan didn't want to drive "so far to eat dinner!" After Ethan stormed from the room screaming that he wasn't going to "drive forever" just to eat dinner, Courtney turned to Bryan and said, "How can we help Ethan decide that he wants Applebee's?" Yeah, she wanted us to come up with a plan to "help" Ethan change his mind in her favor. We just had to crack up.

We ended up at Pasta Factory where the kids got pizza, I got alfredo and Bryan got a salad. It wasn't the best night out we've had and quite a few tears were shed over the decision where to go. Needless to say, we won't be going out as a family for a while! Our kids are addicted to $5 pizza!
