My New Job As A Dishwasher!!

Saturday night Brent and I decided to go out to eat. There is this little Italian place just down the street from our house that we both had really enjoyed. So we decided to go there, close, good, perfect. We drive up and it looks to be closed????? At 7:30 on a Sat. night? That doesn't make sense. I go up to the door to investigate, there is a sign on the door that I read. Then head back to the car and tell Brent "well the place is closed but if we want to open a restaurant here we should call Mike" Why would you want to put a restaurant where one just failed? Not sure. Anyway we were not detoured in our plan to go out to eat (mostly because we were both tired and we had NO food in our house, at least nothing to make a decent meal with) So we headed to Val Vista and Baseline. Lots of restaurants in that area. We decided to go to Buca De Beppo. We get there go in and there is a 30 min wait! At this point I'm way too hungry to wait 30 min to even be seated so we decided to go to Saute. A good restaurant we had been to before in the same shopping center. We get there, no cars in the parking lot! The place is dark and closed up, apparently it had closed down too! Two strikes with places being closed down and another strike with a too long wait. We then headed to the Macaroni Grill. Thankfully they have not gone out of business and they got us seated right away. I enjoy the Macaroni Grill because they have paper table clothes and you can write/color while you wait for you food! We finally after much journeying we had found a place to eat and enjoyed our delicious food! Then the check came. Brent reached into his pocket and looks at me. "Oh crap" I ask what? Then I see him fiddling with his pockets like there is no wallet there. Now Brent likes to play tricks on me so I didn't believe him when he said "I forgot to grab my wallet" He smiled and pulled his hands out, but there was no wallet like I was expecting! He really had forgotten his wallet! And since we were just going out to grab a quick bite and Brent was driving I had left my purse at home! We had a little cash but not enough to pay for dinner. I looked at Brent and he looked as frantic as I felt! What were we going to do??? We didn't have a way to pay for our dinner! I felt awful! Then with a stroke of genius (or inspiration from Heavenly sources) I remembered I had a debit card on my keys!!! Yes thank you Bank of America! They have these little debit cards the size of a grocery store discount card. They work just like a regular debit card, just miniature sized. So our waitress comes up and I say, " So.......you see.........well........we both.......ok so this story has a happy ending so don't freak out! He forgot his wallet, and I left my purse at home because he was driving. (the look on her face! Not so confidant in my promise of a happy ending) But I have this!!" I held up my keys, which for some reason has WAY too many keys and key chains on it! I asked can you use this? She looked a little relived but also a little confused as she looked at what I'm sure she though was my Bashas Thank You card! I could see her confusion and rushed to say, it's a debit card it's just small and on my keys! She then looked very relieved and said oh yeah of course! If it's a debit card no problem! I was relived! She then left with my obnoxious keys to pay for our dinner! It was a little embarrassing but OH SO FUNNY! Brent and I were just sitting there laughing the whole time she was taking care of our bill! I'd had images of me in the back next to a big dirty guy washing dishes, or maybe mopping floors, or going around filling people's cups with fresh water! When in actuality what would have had to happen was one of us drive home and get something to pay with while the other staid there. I'm glad we didn't have to do that since it was a ways from our house! Lesion, never assume your better half has there wallet! They may not! Check before you leave the house! Or else you might wish you banked with Bank of America!

Another funny story to share from the kids in our primary class. We were about 5 min away from church being over when one of our little guys says, I need to go to the bathroom. We hear that A LOT. We try and have the kids wait, especially that close to the end of class. So Brent asked him if he could hold it and he said yes. A minute later he's dancing back and forth from one foot to the other and making I have to go pee noises, You know the noises, I'm sure you've made them before, a little moaning, and whimpering. So Brent says do you HAVE to go right now? He just looked up and said, umm yeah! So Brent quickly too him and headed to the restroom. (this is second hand info, I did not follow them to the bathroom, I had 6 other kids to keep alive!) Once they get in there and up to the urinal the I have to go pee noises intensify and he declares, Oh I can't get it! I can't get it!! He's doing the pee pee dance hoping around!!! Poor little guy couldn't get his pants unbuttoned! So Brent helped him unbutton it real quick and the very thankfully was able to hold it just long enough! They really are funny little kids! Speaking of funny kids I was at a friends house today, when her grandson came into the room. He has white on his earlobes! I thought that's odd. Then she says to me, "do you see what he did to his ears?'' I said "yeah what did he do?" "He found the white out this morning and thought it was a Q-tip" Then she motions like she was cleaning out her ears! I looked a little closer and sure enough it wasn't just his earlobe that was white but the entire inside of his ear too! And it was stuck on there! Water wasn't getting it off! Too funny! You had to see it but it really made me laugh so hard!!
