The wedge

Today a wedge was driven between the little man and the big guy.  We had been cooped up in the house all morning, the big man wanted to get out and go get some lunch (that was not turkey) and do a little shopping. So we all got cleaned up to look presentable much different than the pajamas we had been in for a day an a half. It was 1 in the afternoon we left the house headed to Applebee's.  We were quickly seated.  We placed our order and. Sat there and sat there the big guy was happy the manger came over to put soccer on the tv where we were sitting. The little man was growing impatient waiting on some much anticipated macaroni and cheese.  The little man became restless repeatedly asking for his food.  The waiter finally came with our waters and some appetizer plates after sitting there for a solid ten minutes. We were not in any hurry to get any where but when you have a little man who is acting as if he has not eaten in weeks ten minutes seems like an hour.  The waiter apologized for the wait. At this point little man thought the empty plate was a curl joke.  He wanted to know who took his macaroni and cheese. He began to loudly verbally express him self with hoot and hollers and screams for his long waited macaroni and cheese that never came.  We were getting those stares from people, you know the ones, where you are the only parents in the world who lack the parenting skills to control a hungry two year old.  The big guy also losing his patience waiting on the food we ordered over 30 minutes ago that had still not come, nabbed up the little guy and headed out to the car.  Left me there to apologize to the waiter for departure and scrambling for my purse and our jackets. We headed home and the big guy sent the little guy to his room, angry that we could not go out to eat with out making a scene.  Since his stern scolding the little man won't talk to the big guy.
