Happy Birthday, Volume 3...Grandee

James's mom is exactly 40 years and 1 day older than me, so we always celebrate our birthdays together. Since we both love Mexican food, we went out for some tonight.
...
Hunter has followed in his mommy and grandee's footsteps with his love for Mexican food...especially salsa. Tonight he was eating his chips and salsa (which was REALLY spicy, even for me) and some random employee walked by, put a tortilla on the table in front of him and said, "Here's a tortilla for him. That stuff is dangerous for him to eat."
...
I was highly offended.
...
I felt like telling her, "My kid likes salsa. I promise you it's better that I let him eat it and make sure he drinks lots of water then to subject you to his screaming." But I was good and kept my mouth shut. The meal was really yummy, so it made up for her unsolicited parenting tips.
...
Happy (belated) Birthday Grandee! We love you!

Garrett is a hot sauce eater as well. It baffles me how much HOT hot sauce that kid can eat and you better not take it away from him either--he'll throw a major meltdown for some hot sauce.

Oh my gosh Carole. That is awesome. I hope my future kids love salsa as much as I do.
