Yesterday I went to a concert. But afterwards was the best part.
Me, as well as my friends Ashley, Kara, and Kara's dad Brent went to the Hardee's for dinner after the concert. It was around midnight, so it wasn't very busy. We walked up to the counter to order our food, and Ashley slammed her hand down on the counter and said in a VERY serious voice 'Do your kids meals come with toys?'
The man behind the counter said 'but of course.'
I laughed and said 'Good, then we'll take two cheeseburger kids meals, please.' I was giggling the whole way through, so they made me try to say it again with a straight face. The man behind the counter was very amused. I paid the man for our food, and then we went on to ask him what a goatee is. He reached up and stroked his chin while explaining it. We laughed and explaiend to him that the whole reason for asking was because most people touch their face or chin while explaining what a goatee is to someone.
Ashley and I then proceeded to skip around the restaurant singing the Dora the Explorer theme song while we waiting for our food. The song was over before our food was out, so we engaged in a ninja duel, with lots of bowing and fake ninja moves and lots of FWAAAAAAH's and lots of very ninja-mastery phrases, and then I went on to explain patience to the young grasshopper.
They gave us our food, and we did the Dora 'We did it' dance back to our table, where we sat down to eat. We put obscene amounts of salt on our food, and then the Amtrak train went by the building.
I said 'Amtrak... Amtrak, the transportation mode of all things evil! This message brought to you by Darth Vader!... No, wait. Darth Vader turned good in the end. Ok, then the Pink Ranger and Tinky Winky brought you this message.' The man behind the counter couldn't conceal his laughter. And then Ashley and I bagan to play with our kids meals toys.
And did I mention what we had to drink? Suicides. Yummz
Anyway, I excused myself from the table with the words 'Just a second, there's something I need to try.' I walked up to the counter, and the manager was there.
'Yes ma'am' he said 'what can I get for you.'
'Can I get a cup of whipped cream please?'
He paused for a moment, unsure. And then he consented. 'Sure, but only this once. We usually don't give out whipped cream in cups.' He then proceeded to give me a cup of whipped cream, free of charge, which I proceeded to drink with a straw. McDonald's normally charges 64 cents, and the people at Starbucks either make you do the Chicken Dance to get it (they also gave me a free scone for being awesome) or they just blink at you.
We then thanked the man behind the counter and wished him a good morning and walked out the door... Only for Ashley and I to come back in again.
'You do know that we're completely sane, right?' I say.
'Oh, I know,' he replied.
I nod. 'Just making sure..' And then I leave again.
Then we drive for a while and have to pull over to wait for the other van to catch up, and while we're stopped we do a first fire drill, where we all bail out of the van, run around it, and get back in. We drive for probably another 30 minutes when we come to a four-way stop, where we all bail out and have yet another fire drill. But a cop pulls up at another stop sign in the fourway (keep in mind that this was at about 12:45am). One of the boys in our van waves at the cop, and we all get in the van and drive away. Except the cop comes after us, lights and all. We pull over, and he swears at the boy that waved at him because he 'flagged him down.' He didn't even care about the fire drill.
AND TODAY. After going to bed at 2am, I woke up at 6am to perform at church (twice) with my little brother.
'Twas fun. We did quite well. Nailed the harmonies. I'm so proud of that kid. I taught him his whole part in three days. It helps when the person in charge knows what they're doing, but that's a lot to learn.
And then I came home, sat around, continued working on regaining the strength in my wrist (still don't have it all back) and bought a brithday present.
it's the coolest birthday present EVAR.
