“WE ARE NOT HAPPY!”

One of the things I should have learned from being married to Travis for nearly 6 years is that we think in vastly different ways. But yet, I still have those “what were you thinking” kinds of moments. When it comes to Titan, and I am sure Liddy one day, I pick my battles, I avoid known controversy. Travis doesn’t. Here is one example.

Friday night we were driving past a fast food restaurant. At the last second Travis decided that he would pull in and go through the drive thru. Titan immediately said, “I want chicken nuggets, french fries, ketchup, and a juice box!” I really didn’t want anything anyway but as I was checking out the menu, thinking I might get something Travis proceeded to order. He ordered 5 things off the dollar menu. None of which were chicken nuggets or a juice box. As Titan proceeded to come to a near meltdown in the backseat, seemingly out of nowhere Travis says, “I am just trying to make everybody happy.” Titan immediately says, “WE ARE NOT HAPPY!” I probably should have been a good mom and punished him for talking to his father that way but I couldn’t help it, I had to laugh, and agree! How he thought that going through a drive thru and not ordering what Titan wanted would make him happy is beyond me.
