[ sonic ]



sooooooo... the boys & i went on a road trip. it was coming up to lunch time & i was really really hoping that there would be a wegmans on route...  but my tom tom couldn't find one...

the usual signs went sailing past.... mc d's, exxon, wendy's etc etc... then i spied one for sonic ~ i remember a couple of people telling me how good it was & how everything was delivered on roller skates! i thought the boys would denitely get a kick out of that & me too for that matter!

so we pull off the road & park up. there was a place to eat outside & we perused the menu board. my first question: what are tots?? i've lived here for 10 years & my only recollection of tots was it being mentioned on napeoleon dyamite. i would have skipped the whole tot thing ~ but i had read it aloud & oscar 4, wanted to know what they were ~ on repeat mode...

i look around the only other people there are 2 army guys who inform me that they are like hash browns.

ready to order! i press the button & read off what we want. while we wait i explain the whole roller skate thing to the boys & they are getting excited.

the place starts to fill up... strangely...all the guys were ordering with their legs really wide apart to get lower to the place where you speak... oscar keeps shouting look that guy is doing the splits & that one too...

our order is walked over to our table... my boys look at me like i'm crazy!! i asked where the skates were & am told this is her first week, but there is a guy inside who has a pair & she'll send him out ~ cool!! not so cool... i have no fork to eat my salad, yes i am one those crazy people that eats salad at a fast food place!! there doesn't appear to be a door in for non-staff... so after hestiating a bit i press the order button again...

another girl walks out & says that one of the wheels on his skates is loose & he's trying to fix it... is this going to get any harder...

of course it is!! less than one second after the door closes behind her oscar wants ketchup please mom, ketchup, ketchup please, ketchup mom, i need ketchup... pleeeease. i have to press the order button again... bet they're loving us inside!!

someone else walks out with the ketchup. then... & i need to do a ta-da here!! this guy comes whooshing round our table on skates!!! YEAH!!! he asks if we need anything else... the boys start doing a continuous scream as loud as they can!! sorry everyone trying to have a quiet lunch ~ hahahaha!!

& they scream everytime they saw that guy from then on!! excellent!

i really wanted to go potty!  but was too embarrassed to ask anyone if they knew where the restrooms were & there was noway i was pressing that button again!

personally i found the whole experience pretty awkward! but i'll give them 11 out of 10 for effort!
