Beautiful Wife, Middle Daughter, and Sainted Mother joined me for dinner Friday night at the Olive Garden where Oldest Daughter works.
We found out that we can get the 25% discount if we go there when she's working! Bonus!
After we ate dinner we drove up to Perkin's Cove to walk around and enjoy the evening. We drove through a thunder-storm on the way and the rain was so torrential that it was puddling in the middle of the highway!
We went into the candy/ice-cream shop and decided to order some ice-cream to eat while we walked around.
When I walked in the door I greeted the counter chicks with a hearty bonjour and then exchanged how are you type greetings in French. SM walked up and ordered ice-cream in the midst of this exchange and was promptly ignored while the cute chick asked me what I wanted. I responded in French with some coaching from Middle Daughter and ordered both mine and BW's ice cream at the same time.
This exchange finished and SM spoke up to complain that she was still waiting for her ice cream. LOL SM typically goes out with her sister or my sisters and is the outgoing, gregarious one that interacts with the shop-keepers. I think she was a little miffed that I got all the attention just because I was butchering the French language.
She continued to complain when we got outside and BW said to her, "Welcome to my world." LOL
