Are you calling me fat?

Could there be a more enjoyable thing than laughing with your family?

We attempted to go out to eat at a restaurant last night. I have been jonesing for this one place, and Bill finally agreed. We requested to sit outside on the deck, and the hostess said something like “Sure, go ahead”. We were the only ones out there, but decided that this was a good thing, with the kids and all.

No one ever came out to wait on us.

Everyone was like, “Wow mom, this place is great. Do you think they know we are here?”

Looking at the menu, Bill was gawking at the prices and reading it out loud. He said “Hey, look, we can order some buffalo wings. You get 8 for $8.99. That is a little over a buck a chicken wing! WHAT a DEAL!!”

The kids were rolling, and playing right along, barking out bagain prices on the over-priced menu.

We finally left after a drunk staggered out of the bar and proceeded to have a fight with her mother….”I am NOT being rude. It is my birfday and I will come ou’side and look at the water if I want”…….and then she fell in the water. Well, not really. But I was thinking that would have been priceless.

Buh, bye.

We then filed out and went in search of another place to eat. By this point everyone was deliriously hungry, and Bill was on a roll.

Cody said, “Hey, that stop sign had no letters on it except for the ‘O’” To which Bill said, “Ah! The Big ‘O’” and I burst out laughing. He was laughing, the kids were laughing, even though they were completely clueless to what they were laughing at, which made us laugh even harder.

We finally found a decent place to eat, and ordered some food.

Bill and I were talking about the tendency in his family to be a bit pear shaped and hippish. He is not , and I pointed out to him that it is probably because he is really thin….if he gained weight, he would be hippish. We then stated talking about something else. The waitress was clearing the table, and suddenly Bill belts out to me, really, really loudly, “Are you calling me fat?”. The waitress looks up and, thinking he is serious, quickly walks away, which has us LOAO.

Yes, there might have been rum involved, which makes everything funnier, right? So, go drink some rum and re-read this post.

There was more, but I can’t remember. I just know that my face hurt from laughing so much. You really had to be there, and it probably sounds silly to you to read, but when Bill gets on a roll like that it really makes for a fun night.

New easy drink:

large cup full of ice
1 can seltzer water
the juice from one lime
1-2 oz of rum

P.S. No driving was involved in the making of this rummy evening.
