6 Kids, 3 cats, 1 dog, Mom, and Dad

The Princess and the 3 Boys or You look red.

On our way back from college, by way of the LONG route, I finally decided that I was feeling a bit hungry and wanted to stop. I was in the mood for Fresh City and informed Middle Daughter that it was our destination.

She had started to call back her friends because she had some missed calls on her phone. I guess leaving it in her purse on vibrate will cause that to happen, eh? Anyway, she calls back one of the boys and he informs her that he and two other boys were going to see a movie but it was sold out and that they'd join us at Fresh City.

MD knew she was in trouble but didn't know how to get around it. The cast of characters (though MD was the only girl present) the boys: Tony, Sam, Trent...the girls: MD, Michelle, Sasa.

We sat down after getting us food and them only a smoothie because they weren't hungry. We made small talk until I decided the time was ripe...

"So which one of you likes Sasa, Michele, and Princess MD?" I made eye contact with Sam and he mumbled about not liking anyone and he was just there because they were. Trent mumbled something that sounded like Michelle and then I turned my eye to Tony.

He got red and said, "I'm going to say that I like MD, and Trent likes Michele, and I'm not sure who likes Sasa."

I said, "Oh, so you like Princess MD?" with a wolfish grin on my face.

He gamely said, "Yes, if you base it on who we sit next to when we watch movies."

LOL This was so much fun! Now I know why a cat plays with a mouse before devouring it!

I made mentioned of my black belt, the importance of my daughter's happiness, and he seemed to get the message.

MD went with them to see a movie when she got home she said, "Great! Now they like you even more and think you're funny and nice!!"

I could tell that she was happy with that and also had a nice night.
