Panic in the bathroom

It's been a long and busy week in school for the girls and I.  It was their first week in the voice lesson class in the homeschool coop group.  The days we have to go are going to be sooo packed.  We have to be there at 9:30 for the first class, which lasts 40 minutes then we have to sit there till 12:10 when the older girls have class.  I have decided to teach the preschoolers while I am there, because I have to teach Danijela anyway and they were all very interested in what we were learning and they all really wanted to do the crafts. 

So every Thursday will be that busy and then when we get home we also have to work on the chores that we didn't do during the day that we usually do, not to mention dinner.

Today was fun, we took the kids to see the Simpson's movie finally.  They loved it.  Tonight we went to the Mexican restaurant.  It is always yummy eating there but tonight was a little different than usual.  The restaurant was super noisy.  There was one table of drunk people and one lady at that table who was talking above the rest, we could hear every word she was saying over all the noise.  Bela leaned over to me and said she was going to the bathroom, but I didnt hear her.  A bit later David leans over to me and says "It is really noisy in here tonight"

I said, "Yes and somebody's kid is REALLY screaming." Somewhat over the din you could hear the voice of a child screaming, "Mommy Mommy!!!" Then another lady sitting near the bathrooms hops up and runs over there.  I am still oblivious.

Brittany says, "Is that Bela???",  All of a sudden it just clicked in my head and panic set in (you never know why your child is screaming bloody murder in the bathroom, but it can't be a good thing), Brittany and I both jumped up from the table and ran over in time to hear this other Mom saying, "It's okay honey, we'll get you out." (my brain says, "THANK GOD she is only locked in!")

I calm her down through the door and tell her to try and turn the lock again it opens immediately.  She comes out clings to me and the whole restaurant is quiet and staring at us by then.  I asked her why she thought it wouldn't unlock, "I pushed the button to unlock it, like I pushed it to lock it, and it wouldn't unlock."

She didn't know that she could just turn the knob.  She was so embarrassed.  I reminded her that, that is the reason that I always make her take a sister with her.
