Applebee's lower's drinking age for Margarita Monday

The Case for Mindfulness
Everyday we mindlessly misplace the keys or remote control.

We may think nothing of it.

Just going through the motions of your day without being present in moment has its consequences.

Keep reading and you will see what I mean.

Do You See Anything Wrong with this Picture?











Why would a Sippy Cup be next to a glass of margarita?


Great Question!

Let's see Alcohol 21 years and older..... Sippy cup 2 years old and under..hmm

Apparently, Applebees is adding a new item to it's kid's menu. Apple Juice "AKA" Margarita.

That's Right.

This past Monday, a little two year old boy reached for his sippy cup of apple juice and instead was served a Margarita. Mom said her two year old started acting weird and making "funny faces". She opened the lid and surprise!.... Liquor.

It gets better, keep reading!

Corporate representatives later told Mayorga that the liquor that had been mistakenly poured in her son's cup was their "top-shelf" margarita, complete with triple sec and high-quality tequila.

The restaurant keeps apple juice and the pre-made "top-shelf" liquor fusion in two identical-looking plastic bottles on ice behind the bar, Tei said.

Markings on the bottles differentiate the two, but a manager who was working at the time mistakenly grabbed the margarita mixture instead of the apple juice jug. The children's cup is an opaque white with graphics around on the sides and a cover, making it difficult to see, Tei said.

Now if this manager had just turned to page 108 in An Invitation to Personal Peace the Daily Practice for Day 5 would've come in handy.

"By practicing mindfulness we learn to stay in the present
moment and experience life fully. We stay focused and aware
of what is happening in the moment. This gives us the ability
to think and respond to our lives in ways that are in our
best interest."

Let's do our best to prevent these types of things from happening. Next time you order your favorite beverage from your neighborhood Applebees make sure you give them your copy of an Invitation to Personal Peace before they make your drink.

Who knows? You may save another 2 year old from a hangover.

Thanks for the message. Just for the record - I am in favor of mindfulness and paying attention - NOT 2 year old drinking alcohol : )
