Sleeping Baby

Last night we went out to dinner with my son, his wife and their baby. They had been out all day and the baby was tired. We put him into his stroller and went to Friendly's for sandwiches and ice cream. He is a good baby and will sleep through mostly anything. He was sound asleep when all of a sudden the staff came out clapping and singing Happy Birthday to someone at the next table. The baby got so startled he began to scream. After a few minutes he calmed down and went back to sleep. That is when the staff came out again clapping and singing Happy Birthday to someone at the other table next to us. Again, the baby was startled and began to cry. By that time there was no consoling him and we just kept passing him around the table so the next person could eat. I guess that sleeping babies and happy birthdays do not always mix.
