"You don't handle baby mama drama at a school function."

So, Tuesday was an incredibly crazy day. I picked my mom up from the ferry on Monday to spend a couple of days with us and attend Georgies Kindergarten graduation. Tuesday morning I heard about my Grandpa, about two hours later I received a call from Oscars school. He had a fever and needed to be picked up. He has been having some serious stomach aches the last few weeks and the doctors are doing some tests to try and find out what's going on. We managed to pull it together and get to the graduation. We left early, my Mom had bought Georgie an outfit and we wanted time to get her dressed. Also, we had been advised that these graduations are VERY well attended and I needed to make sure that Mrs. Doubtfire Mom had a seat. The ceremony was great. It is a different crowd. I think there were about 120 graduates and I counted 4 white kids. I loved it, it was a fun atmosphere. So many people! Aunts and Uncle and cousins and grandparents, standing room only. I was really impressed, I have never seen so much support and enthusiasm from families. They were loud and vocal and the kids were really fun and cute. I love seeing Luisa in her environment. She works as the school secretary and has been a part of Zion prep since Elijah started there in Kindergarten. She has a lot of friends and everybody loves her. I had a lot of competition for Solomon. The fact that he peed both down the front of my shirt and my pants makes me feel like he made his choice.
Here is where the story takes a turn. Following the ceremony, everybody was to head from the auditorium to the cafeteria to receive diplomas and have cake(yeah!). I had wisely left the littlest kids home and just brought Siobhan and Oscar. Nicoe and Siobhan were taking their sweet time in the bathroom so my Mom said to take the boys and head over for cake ( I think she knew I was anxious I would not get a piece). I had Silas, Oscar, Saul and Elijah. We made our way from one end to the other where Silas then decided he needed to use the bathroom. I told him to hurry, we would wait by the door for him. I decided to call Pete and let him know what was up. Two seconds into the call, the first punch was thrown and it was an all out brawl from there. Kids were flying, a little boy was knocked down and bawling. I started screaming" Grab the baby!", over and over. There was a man with his little girl that ducked behind a door. This wasn't across the room, this was RIGHT NEXT TO US. I grabbed the little boy and my boys and yelled to Elijah to get Silas ,we were leaving. You may have an inkling that I do not keep my cool in situations. Silas was gone, nowhere to be found in the bathroom. I was worried that my mom was in the cafeteria on the other side of the melee. I knew Georgie was. People started running out the doors and apparently my Mom was heading in and realized something had gone wrong. I came out the other doors in what can only be described as a state of pure hysteria. Something I will never live down, I am sure. I managed to pull it together when I realized my Mom was likely going to slap me if I didn't. It was two sisters, one with a little girl that had graduated that jumped the dad. I guess there was preexisting tension that had turned violent before. This I found out by the talk around me, which is also where I picked up todays title, a direct quote. I am no stranger to fights. My issue is the fact that we were at a Kindergarten graduation. It was so sad to hear parents walking out telling their kids they would have a special cake and party for them at home. The kids were upset and scared. At least I gave everyone something additional to talk about. No one will not soon forget the urine soaked white lady that went hysterical. In the end, the little boy was retrieved, his mom had been involved. Silas walked out from where the fight was, totally oblivious. Saul hit his head on the door in the rush to get out. I gathered all the kids into the car. Elijah laughed and said he knew something would happen. Luisa was totally composed. The cops came and took reports. I went back for cake.
