I started out tonight thinking I was only cooking for the two girls and myself... How wrong I was. By now I should know better. I don't think there will ever be a time I cook for one.
Well deciding what to make for dinner was easy, I really wanted a cheeseburger. This must have been what others wanted too... Seeing as how they found their way to my dinner table.
It all started with one friend, who just stopped by, but he was determined to have one of the yummy cheeseburgers. I have never seen anyone engulf something so quickly... I think the man would have eaten another too!
If I had the good manors to ask, that is. On this one occasion, I did not. Please, forgive me. He stayed and talked awhile. As I finished up the last of the burgers, he said his goodbyes and was off... With the promise of returning for dinner time soon.
I made the girls' plates, then mine, and sat down. Thinking I was going to be able to eat while my food was still hot. Hah! Joke's on me, right? My sweet son's girlfriend wandered in looking hungry. Up I go. I made her a burger and had her set down at the table with the girls.
Then my dirty son comes home, Hey mom what's for dinner? Dear God my son drive's, but he's obviously too blind to see what is for dinner... Please, help him. These are the moments where you ask yourself, why didn't you move away and change your name...
I stared at my imperceptive son, who just walked passed four girls with cheeseburgers hanging out their mouths, with astonishment. I see that wasn't enough of a hint for him. I mean, what could possibly be for dinner...
I finally said, "It's cheeseburgers, sweetheart." To which, his reply is, "Can you make me one mom?" Again I get up and make another one of my darling puddin' pops a burger.
Eventually, we are all sitting down and eating... Thank goodness. The girls then asked, "Are there any french fries?" Knowing good and well I hadn't made any I looked at them and said, "Ya, I ate mine. Didn't you?"My son went along with it saying, "I ate mine, didn't you?" Then the girlfriend, "I ate mine too, didn't you?" The girls started to get upset because they didn't get any. After teasing them for a few more minutes we all laughed, enlightening them that there were no fries.
Once everything was cleaned up ladybug told me "Mom never make cheeseburgers again without french fries, it's just not right!"
