who doesn't like wings?

It's a friday night, you would expect a popular restaurant that's known to be really good to be packed right? well it took me by surprise as i walked in because, it wasn't busy at all! I walk in expect to be bunched in with a lot of people, and to be told that i would have to wait to be seated. Instead i am told that I can sit wherever i want. As i walk to my designated seat i notice everyone is wearing jerseys, has their faces painted, hats, and spirit colors. Even little kids are dressed in school spirit. I begin to wonder why, hmmm the football game is tonight. May Field and Cruces high, as i sit down the waitress comes by she is very tiny dressed in orange. She asks my how i am and says she'll be back and see if i'm ready to order. I like it better when waitresses are nice, rather than rude and mad that they have to work. i skim through the menu as i secretly people watch. At one table there is a family of four with a mother, father, a boy that looks about 4 and a older girl that looks maybe 14. The little boy is screaming like crazy! first he is complaining that he doesn't like his meal. how is that even possible who doesn't enjoy wings? he complains that his food is cold and that the sauce is too spicy, his mother tries to calm him down by, asking if he would like to order something else he screams and begins to get out of his chair. The little boy starts to run around the restaurant, the rest of the customers begin to stair. This child is seriously throwing a temper tantrum. How crazy! The daughter goes after him and starts to run, you can easily tell she's embarresed because she turns red. I feel bad for her, i look over and the mom gets out of her seat to help her duaghter get ahold of him. After about five minutes of him running around she gets him, the mother does. She leads him out side of the restaurant and the family follows. I look over and some people are laughing well the few teenagers that are here. The adults are whispering, most likely saying they can't believe the child acted like that. For me i'm not surprised because, i have a little brother. Kids will be kids! My waitress comes and i order my food in about 20 minters it's here and i eat as i eat i watch this old couple, it's so nice to see old people together as a couple because, it shows love does exist. I ask for my check and pay, and finally on my way home!
