Sarah and I used to have a Friday night date night every week. It was a great time to just spend quality time with each other over dinner and drinks and feel less like husband and wife, and more like two lovers on a date. FNDN is teetering on extinction now that we have the responsibilities of raising a new life.
We are blessed to have an extremely well-mannered baby, and have been able to take Tyler with us to dinner quite a few times. It’s a modified FNDN – less about just Sarah and I – but it’s still nice to get out of the house together, even if we do have a third wheel with us. We had a FNDN yesterday. I spent much of the day hanging up a privacy fence (and received a wicked sunburn as a result) and felt like it was deserved. We went to a restaurant called Mad Anthony’s.
Our waitress’ name was Sheila. She is an attractive, punky-looking girl, with a piercing in her lip. At one point, she asked how my drink was. I told her it was quite good and she would have to try it when she turns 21. She looked like a junior in high school, but she informed me that she recently celebrated her 22nd birthday.
A few minutes later, she was waiting on the table next to us. It was occupied by three blue-collar guys who appeared to work at the local factory. Sheila’s back was to us while she took their orders. Tyler turned to look at her stare at her… then proceeded to reach out and grab her butt.
The dudes at the table next to us told Tyler “way to go” and asked for high fives from him. Looking back, I’m surprised that I wasn’t mortified about him grabbing her butt, but I actually thought it was hilarious. Sarah made a comment about Sheila being a cougar at 22. I didn’t say anything aloud, but thought to myself, “That’s my boy.”
The moment we got in the car, Sarah – who didn’t bring her cell phone – said, “Dial Melanie and give me your phone.”
I did as ordered. After a couple seconds, Sarah said, “I have to tell you what Tyler just did.”
After telling the story to her BFF, Sarah turned to me and said “Melanie said ‘he is his father’s son.’”
Indeed.

Good on him!
A Free Man’s last blog post..Would you hold it near as it were your own?
Hilarious!
I miss Lee and I’s date nights, too. We always did Wednesday nights at Mad Anthony before Krue was born. Lee has Thursdays off so it worked out good. So hard to work in date nights once you have kids.
I was mortified at first, and once I realized that the waitress was ok with it, changed my attitude. I’m sure it will be something that we will laugh about for years to come.

That is hilarious! He will have a long and illustrious career as a Romeo.
That’s hilarious!!
I know my husband would be ridiculously proud if we had a boy who did that =) As it is, when our nephew made a boob grab on me (he was maybe 2 at the time?), my husband was unbelievably pleased lol.
