Good behaviour?

This evening we stopped by Kam Do Restaurant to order some take-out for dinner.  The boy was running around everywhere, climbing on chairs, playing with the salt and pepper shakers... a waitress came by and plunked him onto a chair (he was standing on) and told him to sit still (in Cantonese) and warned him she was watching him.  Isaac froze in place.  He had a serious-sort of expression on his face - definitely not a happy one.  Daddy and I sat at a table across from him.  I laughed at him, he did not flicker... his expression never changed.

Awhile later, the same waitress came back with a plate of mango pudding (saying it was a treat on her for being good).  She scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth.  He seemed unsure of what was going on and tentatively ate a bite.  She gave him the spoon and told him to feed himself.  He started to poke at the pudding.  I helped him scoop up little spoonfuls and he fed himself most of the pudding.

After he was done, he sat in the chair across from Daddy.  I took him out to walk around while we waited for our take-out.  It was an interesting experience.
