Graelyn's eyes...

OK, many of you have asked what the heck the lady at the Snooty Pig said about Graelyn's eyes...for those of you who haven't seen her in person...KJ (see prior post comment under the Cruise girls' photo) had made the comment that Graelyn's eyes are one of the 1st things you notice about her...and as her mommy, I can say, they are beautiful if I do say so myself...anyway...here's what happened:
Gwen, Grae and I went for breakfast muffins one morning at the Snooty Pig (little dive in Keller...GREAT muffins). We sit, eat our breakfast and then get ready to go...I'm on the floor cleaning up Graelyn's mess and several of the waitresses come by to say hi to the girls, say how cute, and whatever, etc. Anyway, this one lady comes up, kneels down and says:
Waitress: Oh, hey there...(pause...she looks at me) What's wrong with her eyes?
Me: Pardon me?
Waitress: What's wrong with her eyes, one's bigger than the other, what's wrong with them?
Me: (as I look at Graelyn) Um, nothing...they're fine.
Waitress: No, this one's bigger than the other...that one looks like she has a cold in it or something...somethings wrong.
Me: Well, pretty much the whole world has different sized eyes, they are ok.
Waitress: Just looks like something's wrong.
Me: Nope, she's good.

My sweet friend KJ has said I was WAAAYYY too nice and the further I got from the restaurant, the angrier and angrier I became and thought who the f&*K gives someone the permission to talk to a STRANGER"S kid like that????I mean, seriously! I was super frustrated and mad but I'm over it now...whatever...yeah, I was mad...who does that kind of thing anyway???? So, yeah, that's the Graelyn eye story! UGH!

stupid waitress. Well, when I punch that lady in her eye one of her eyes will be purpler than the other! (just kidding, I'm not going to punch her in the eye...)

You guys...I was with Angie that day and Angie is forgetting to point out something. That lady was a cyclops. She only had one eye on her forehead. She also (
I think to deflect the fact that she was a cyclops) had a button on that said, "Official Eye Inspector." I keep telling Angie that that is why that lady thought she had the right to say things like that...she's the "Eye Inspector." Whatever, I'm just sure it's really hard to only have one eye and it be in the middle of your forehead, that's all.

Oh, Ang, i am so sorry. How rude. I had someone at a mexican restaurant ask me if Eloise had downs syndrome. My mom was with me and she was soooo not as nice and asked why she would ask that and the waitress (0nce again, officially medical examiner, as they think they are) said that her eyes were spread far apart like a downs kid. i was SUPER upset just like you. no one could be more beautiful than sweet Grae

Oh please. She's just jealous of Graelyn's eyes. In fact, you could have said, "oh, I think you're just jealous of her eyes. It's OK because she was just telling me that she's jealous of you for getting to work at a restaurant named after you." Yeah, I always think of the comebacks after the fact...

And I'm LOL at the posts above me. :-) We could start a boycott of the Snooty Pig. All of us report this atrocity on our blogs and tell the world to boycott the snooty pig until the waitress with the cyclops eye (that's bruised from rebekah's punch, of course) is fired!

OK, I was typing my comment at the same time as Sarah Owen, apparently, so I didn't see her comment and I am NOT "LOL" at her post! That's absolutely awful! We should boycott that restaurant, too!!

KJ Druyvesteyn said...

Yeah, but if you HAD tried the Snooty Pig's muffins, that would make it hard to boycott. They are GOOOOOOD (said in my best Cousin Eddie voice from Christmas Vacation--remember the dinner table scene?)

When I told my husband what the woman said to Ang he was like "WHAT? Graelyn has the MOST beautiful eyes! Who could say anything like that? Like, seriously, Kim....her eyes are SO beautiful!" You know, he is just a clueless guy and he comments on her beautiful eyes a lot! In fact, about a week ago he saw her and after commenting on how smart she is, he then started talking about how beautiful she is! (didn't tell you that one, Ang....Good thing she is not even 1yet or I might have some competition! : )

See...this is why I have such sweet, supportive friends like y'all!!! Seriously! I wish I had thought of all of the following! Punching, name calling and rearranging peoples' faces are favorite passtimes...ok, in my head anyway:) I LOVE YOU GIRLS! Sarah Beth, ridiculous...some people have no idea what the hell they are doing! I think the women we've interacted with seriously are cyclops but in the brain department! YEAH! Take that stupid waitresses! LOVE the name "Snooty Pig" for that gal...but she would have been a "white trash pig" if you know what I mean...black eyeliner ALL the way around the eyes, blue and white eye shadow, bleached hair with the dark roots, too tight jeans (nevermind that she was a skinny bitch...whatever...eat a muffin or something!)...and to top it off A WAITRESS! Thanks girls for officially making me feel better....besides, she'll feel real bad one day when Graelyn and Gwen are like the Williams sisters at Wimbledon playing each other for millions! YEAH!

Ang, just remember: not everyone can be as perfect as you & I. life wouldn't be near as comical as we tend to find it. kiss those beautiful eyes for me today!!

KJ Druyvesteyn said...

Hey...that was just what I looked like this a.m. but no one thought it was cute....just sad, really.

Yeah, Ang, I'm gonna have to go with my blogger friends on this one. Now, I KNEW that it was the Thin Mints but I wouldn't have if it were just for the title alone.

BTW--your cupboards are ridiculously organized. How in the WORLD do you find time to do it all. You frustrate me....2 kids, a job, a bow business, whatever. I'm calling you a name in my head. Guess which one?
