\u201cI been waiting on my order to get done for 45 minutes, and I\u2019m the only customer here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being the parent of a toddler is a unique joy that only lasts for a fleeting season, which is why you have to take full advantage of it while you can. And one dad is clearly doing just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christopher Kyle is father to adorable, 18-month-old Ava, who treated her dad to a meal at her sit-down restaurant. Only according to Kyle, the service left much to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a post on Instagram, Kyle shared a photo of Ava in her play kitchen while he sat waiting for his food in a tiny chair at a tiny table. He wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo I tried to support another Black Owned Business for lunch today. It\u2019s called Ava\u2019s Kitchen, just opened end of April. It\u2019s a very clean establishment, but whewww let me tell you about this owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off, I asked why there are balloons on my chair, and it\u2019s not my birthday? She talm\u2019bout, mind yah business; those are Mommy\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I been waiting on my order to get done for 45 minutes, and I\u2019m the only customer here. She was making good progress at first, then she stopped for 20 minutes to go watch Paw Patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall the customer service could be better, but the cook is a cutie; so I\u2019ll give her another chance. Let\u2019s not give up on Black businesses so fast after one mistake. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People absolutely loved this dad\u2019s humor and clearly stellar parenting skills. Anyone who has sat through a tea party\u2014or any activity with the wee ones\u2014knows that for all of its cuteness, toddler play is an exercise in patience and endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upworthy shared Kyle\u2019s story well on on our Instagram page and our readers did not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some played right along with the game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans of Paw Patrol had some words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This babygirl will grow up to have such a healthy look at men (in any capacity) as long as she & her Daddy keep such a beautiful bond!! Happy Father\u2019s Day (early) Keep encouraging her to do her thing and her confidence will continue to soar!! I just love this!! \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well done, dad. And well done, Ava. Can\u2019t wait to see you open your own real business someday, baby girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
