We have taken our daughter out to eat with us since she was an infant. She’s always been golden, never one to cry, scream, throw food, run away…. etc
Tonight, she was a nightmare. We went to crackel barrel and there wasn’t any kind of wait. The server went to seat us and she immediately ran back into the shop. I asked her to come, and she screamed NOOOOOO with such vocals the whole restaurant stopped talking. I picked her up at this point and brought her to the table, but now she’s screaming and crying.
I’ve never been so embarrassed and at a complete loss. I still have no idea what caused this or anything. She has never done anything remotely close to this.
The server grabbed a basket of biscuits and put it in front of her and she stopped screaming long enough to politely ask him for black berry jam.

EDIT: And she's trying to communicate with us by texting on a phone, which she can't really see.

Does that weird thing you are standing under have anything to do with PF Cheng?

Still don’t know what or why or how. We got home and I tried to talk to her and she just acted like nothing happened and everything was fine.

Tonight at rehearsal we spent a good chunk of time (20+ minutes) working on an Ellington arrangement.
Then, at the end he told us, never mind, we're going to do a re-run from last concert instead. Sigh.

On the way home I stopped at the gas station. There was a van on the other side of the pump, and another pump beyond that.
I was minding my own business, looking down at the machine as it processed the card. In the background I hear a louder vehicle, like a monster truck, pulling under the roof.
All of a sudden, "BAMSSSSSSS." The monster truck was actually a tractor-trailer (minus the trailer), and it hit the air brakes.
What on earth was it doing at the Walmart grocery store gas station? It barely fit under the roof. I about had cardiac arrest.

Another couple whose house looked onto mine had a kid who would often throw tantrums in the morning. I used to think about what dealing with that most mornings would be like while enjoying my morning coffee. They moved maybe a year ago.
