But she did receive a lovely Beatles boxed cd set...

Olive Garden had the pleasure of our company last night as the family celebrated my mom's birthday at their fine establishment. During the course of the evening, the following absolutely did not take place:

• My son grabbing at everything in sight - including my sister's chest - and at one point heaving a giant belch.
• My daughter repeatedly and with great volume announcing, "I have to go POOP!"
• My father, fresh off a medical procedure earlier that afternoon and still hopped up on his medication, suddenly and with great volume wondering aloud, "Who dressed me?"

My dad's birthday is next week. I think we'll eat in.
