Earlier this week, we Two Lucys met a Pampered Chef customer to deliver an order. We met the customer at a Braum’s at 5:30 p.m. Since we were 30 minutes from home and I had an appointment at 7:00, we decided to eat leisurely at the Braum’s instead of rushing to cook and eat at home.
We have figured out that the best way for us to eat out is to find something we both like and split it. Lucy#1 cannot finish a whole meal, and I am too full if I do, so sharing works out perfectly. At the Braum’s, we ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. (Yum. Braum's iced tea is very good, too.)
When the order came, Lucy#1 said she didn’t think she would be able to eat half a burger that size, so we cut her half in half. She ate burger and fries until she had one bite of her first quarter of the burger left, at which time she announced she wouldn’t be able to eat the other quarter. I urged her to eat at least half of the remaining piece. Nope. She was as full as could be, and simply could not force down even one more fry. She was stuffed. Full as a tick. Could not eat another bite.
About 30 seconds later came a question: “How much does an ice cream cone cost here?” I didn’t know, so she fished money out of her wallet and went to find out.
She came back to the table with a waffle cone overflowing with chocolate ice cream. Huge cone, at least two (huge) scoops of ice cream!
She ate it all.
The moral of this story is, no matter how full you are, you can always eat ice cream.
Amen!
And when you are her age, no one can make you finish a meal before dessert!
