Why Sitters Were Invented...

Well, you'll be happy to know that I've discovered why babysitters were invented. 

We decided to try out the new Italian restaurant, Carlton's, in Cullman today. 

Hold up! I just clicked that link and according to the website Carlton's has been around for 20 years! Well...don't I feel sheepish.

The restaurant is decorated really nicely. It would be a great place to go on date night. We sat outside because the minions were with us but the big fans they had set up kept us plenty cool. 

At some point I got up to powder my nose...

My nose hasn't actually been powdered since our last date night a week ago but you get the idea. Least that's as far as I'm willing to take it. 

...and when I came back this was happening:

Um...Yes, child. It is completely appropriate for you to wrestle with your sister on top of the table.

Clearly she loves to be man handled like that. 

Oh...wait...maybe she does like it.

Inappropriate, minion. Off the table.

You, Sir Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich were completely appropriate.

Mom had the baked spaghetti and it was just as delicious. 

The good news is we were the only people out on the patio. So, there were no worries about disturbing  other patrons.  Well, except me and mom who were also patrons.

So...The real reason babysitters were invented?

So I can go to Carlton's without this business on the menu:
