The story of how a mother of three identified as Miranda Sowers from the US got kicked out of a restaurant for changing her baby girl's diaper at the table is now making rounds on the Internet.

The incident reportedly occurred sometime last week at a Brother's Pizza Express restaurant in Spring, Texas, and ticked the mother off so much that, shortly after, she filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Miranda Sowers visited the Brother's Pizza Express restaurant together with her three daughters, 8-year-old Katelyn, 4-year-old Lauren, and 4-month-old Reagan. The family was simply looking to enjoy a meal together.

Not long after entering the restaurant and placing her order, Miranda Sowers found that her baby daughter, Reagan, was in need of a diaper change. The woman grabbed her and took her to the restaurant's bathroom.

Much to her surprise, she found that the restroom of this Brother's Pizza Express restaurant did not have a changing table. Hence, she and 4-month-old Reagan returned to their seats, having accomplished pretty much nothing.

When faced with this situation, Miranda Sowers decided to take matters into her own hands. Thus, the woman simply placed the baby on a chair next to the table, and proceeded to chance her diaper. She is convinced she did nothing wrong.

“I thought, ‘You know what, I've got my own changing pad, she's tiny, she fits right here on the chair.’ So I laid her down quickly and quietly changed her diaper,” the mother of three told the press in a recent interview, as cited by Huffington Post.

Unfortunately for this woman and her daughters, staff at the Brother's Pizza Express restaurant failed to see things her way. Hence the fact that they brought her food to her in containers rather than on plates and more-or-less politely asked her to leave.

“As soon as you start opening the diaper, people start complaining about the smell of the diaper. Last thing I want is a customer throwing up,” Donny Lala, the current manager of this restaurant in Texas, US, explained the decision to ask Miranda Sowers to leave.

It is still unclear how the Better Business Bureau reacted to the mother of three's complaint, and whether or not the Brother's Pizza Express restaurant's working agenda has in any way been affected by this incident.

What is known is that, while some believe that Miranda Sowers was right in doing what she did, others are quite convinced that the restaurant had every right to look after its other customers and did nothing wrong when asking the woman and her three daughters to leave.
