• Ciera's Saturday

  So, tonight was Ciera's year-end cheer banquet.  We held it at The Olive Garden.  Mama took the other 3 kids and they sat at their own table while Ciera and I went to the banquet. Then the 4 of them walked across the parking lot to the mall to get dessert in the food court.

  As the banquet was ending, the twins asked if Ciera could go with them to Starbuck's since they were all dressed up and it would be fun to go all dressed up, I guess.  Then, could she come home with them to watch a movie?  I said, "sure," and later in the evening asked if she could just spend the night since we're losing an hour.  Anyway...

  I left Olive Garden and drove over to the mall to get Granny and the kids.  And my cell phone rang.  It was Carissa's phone, so I knew it was Ciera.  Ciera had a story:

  Apparently, after I left, the "very cute" waiter that had waited on our banquet was clearing the tables.  Somehow, he tripped.  And the tray he was carrying full of dirty dishes went flying toward Ciera's head.  Two landed ON her head and broke.  One was FULL of spaghetti sauce.  She wasn't hurt, except for a bump on her head (I was thankful it didn't CUT her head), but she was dripping spaghetti sauce.

  The waiter, needless to say, was MORTIFIED and just felt awful.  He ran to get a manager, who brought Ciera an icepack and a gift card for a future visit.  The note in the gift card said, "I'm very very very very, oh-so-very sorry.  Love, Scott."  OK, Love?  Whatever... he was probably just flustered.

  Ciera, Carissa and Cassandra were all just cracking up as she was telling me the story.

  Needless to say, they didn't go straight to Starbuck's.  They went to the twins' house, and Ciera took a shower and changed clothes.

  At least it was at the END of the banquet, huh?
