We're playing "Restaurant" this morning, the Little One and I. We had Domino's last night for dinner (don't judge - it's not all home-cookin' and made from scratch here), and she loves taking the menus off the pizza box and pretending to be a waitress. She certainly has a ways to go on her people skills before she starts earning a decent tip, though.
LO: Hello. I will be your waitress today. What can I get for you?
Me (perusing the menu): Hmm. I'd like a thin crust ham and pineapple, some chicken wings, Diet Coke, and a couple of those chocolate lava cakes, please.
LO (giving me the side-eye): You don't really need all that much. You're getting a pepperoni pizza and that's it.
And then later:
LO: Hello, I'm your waitress. What would you like?
Me: I think I'd like a pepperoni pizza, some cheese sticks, and a Diet Coke.
LO: What about for your little girl?
Me: Oh, I will share my food with her, but she would like a Sprite to drink.
LO: We're out of Sprite. Your little girl will have a Coke. She'll just have to deal with it.
Me: I still get my Diet Coke, right?
LO (again with the side-eye and a sigh): No. We're out of Diet Coke, too. You get a Coke. You'll have to deal with it. Now pay me. Real dollars please, not imaginary.
Yeah. Real money. Nice try, kid.
Thanks for a morning giggle. Apparently you should ask what she recommends and what the daily specials are! ;)
ReplyDeleteShe's kind of like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. She'll tell you what you're going to order, and you're gonna like it.

ReplyDeleteI'm laughing so hard! That is hilarious! And she does sound like the Soup Nazi!!
ReplyDeleteGretchen, she reminds me of Rosie from the Sue Grafton series of books (A is for Alibi, etc). Rosie fixes Kinsey Malone what she feels like serving her. You don't argue with Rosie you just eat it. At least you do get a glass of Chardonnay with that, lol
