So Thursday night my friend Tricia (I know- we both turn around all the time when someone is talking to one of us) and I decided to take the kids for a night out. We went down to Provo and went on the Halloween Cruise which was cute (I'm not sure that is exactly what you want out of a HALLOWEEN Cruise, but what are you going to do.) We saw lots of lighted pumpkins as we cruised up and down a small stretch of the Provo River and then were boarded by a Pirate who handed out candy and heard Halloween stories. Albeit short, the kids really liked it.
After our adventure, we headed up to the BYU creamery on 9th for some good eats. We all picked our pleasure (root beer freeze being my current obsession), added some fries and fry sauce for good measure and sat down to enjoy . So, the kids were sitting at there own table and being somewhat "goofy", as kids will. We were happily visiting, when a cute and somewhat timid BYU Creamery Employee approached the table (She must have drawn the short straw in the back).
"We have had a few complaints about the behavior of the kids............Could you quiet them down or..............(she never really finished the sentence, but she didn't have to)". I was in shock- I have never been asked to leave anywhere!
First of all, we were in Cougar Town - the land of the large family where kids freely roam.
Second, its BYU- it seemed to me a moral contradiction.
Third, the family in the booth next to where Crazy #3 an her prince Porter were jumping off the edge really needed some livening up anyway :)
Forth, what do they expect out of 7 children under the age of 7 who THEY just knowingly sold sugary delights and are way past a reasonable bed time? If they have a problem with the behavior, they should not serve minors after a certain hour - take some responsibility - HELLO!!
Fifth, it seems to me that it could have been viewed as free entertainment and who in Utah County doesn't love FREE entertainment? (I can safely say that because I am a resident)
Could it be that my motherly tolerance has actually reached an normal humans intolerable level? Na - we'll just be chalkin that one up as a fluke:)

After the 5th or 6th time of being "asked to leave" it gets easier, less personal, but I have found it's a lot harder to be kicked out of McDonalds and Wendy's, doable, but harder.
That's awesome. What did you say? Also, I really like how you dressed Crazy #3 up as the cutest little girl ever:)
I can't believe they really kick people out of the CREAMERY! Its kind of funny (probably wasn't funny for you, but its funny to read about.).
I've seen freshman do much worse. I'll protest if you'd like.

This may or may not make you feel better...but that's never even happened to the Beckstrands!!!
To be honest, maybe they were always afraid to ask.
I say you go back EVERY day for a few weeks, just for fun!!
Well I never....I'll have a hard time supporting them anymore. It is kind of funny that they were being that wild and you were lovin' the entertainment :) Good times!
haha! I love the story and I love all of your reasonings. Your hillarious!
Wow! Not even the Beckstrands have been asked to leave the Creamery. You're in a league all your own now. You're getting a babysitter when we go out next time your here, right?
;-)
HA HA HA!!! I wish I could have seen it all...I'd have been peeing my panties!
That is funny. I agree with you on all points. You were definitely in the right.
