PAY IT FORWARD

My daughter wanted spaghetti, waffles, and french fries. Right around the corner, we found a spot that had all three: Skyland Family Restaurant. When we went to order, she wanted everything on the menu, and my son eats everything, so that worked out. I planned to split it all onto separate plates.

He wanted to sit by me so he of course crawled over the table and my daughter went under the table to sit with my husband. Then chaos broke out even more as soon as the food hit the table. I couldn’t separate the food on plates fast enough. I couldn’t cut the spaghetti up and get it on the spoon and into their mouths quickly enough. My son wanted my daughters food and vise versa. We swapped and swamped it around again.. I couldn’t get the syrup on the waffle until my son was just covered in sticky syrup and spaghetti. They were grabbing and shoveling it in. My son was screaming because he wants to feed himself. Napiks, syrup, noodles, and water was flying everywhere, all at the same time. Complete, absolute chaos. All my husband and I could do was laugh at the situation. We both looked and felt defeated.. I felt people looking at us and I could’ve crawled under the table to hide. It was that hectic! It wasn’t fun at the time, but as a bystander, I’m sure it was probably comical to watch.

Finally, they both started to slow down. We could take a breath and get the check to pay, except there was no check. The cashier told us that our bill had been taken care of. We asked if we could thank whomever paid, but the cashier told us they had already left and wished to remain anonymous. The generosity of a stranger paying for our meal was such a heartwarming surprise after a long week and a overwhelming chaotic experience.

I’m sharing all this to say, acts of kindness, no matter how big/small, can have a significant and uplifting impact on others, especially during challenging times. Thank you anonymous person, you made my heart happy tonight. Looking forward to the first chance I get to pay it forward! ❤️❤️❤️

Also, the vegetable soup, spaghetti, waffle, and lasagna were delicious!

We stopped by and were immediately seated. They were accommodating to our young children with strollers. We ordered our kids food first and it almost immediately came out. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious!

The food and atmosphere is perfect. The only downfall, I had to keep asking the girl to speak up because she spoke so fast and so low. I asked her multiple times to repeat herself and just gave up and went with whatever she said.
