We went out to dinner tonight at my favorite local restaurant, that's right, The Brick House Cafe. I don't spend enough time there as it is. We did something different tonight though. Instead of going in, having the kids sit at the bar while I make their food (the bar is not a real bar, it is just a counter with bar stools in our dry establishment. Don't want anyone getting the wrong idea) we went in as regular customers, were seated, ordered off the menu etc. It was a lot nicer for me as I got to relax while those we are paying to work did the work.
We had a good time eating together as a family. Somehow we started playing truth or dare. I think it was Andy that got it started. Oh yes, he ordered two hot dogs and then decided he only wanted the buns and the mustard and wanted me to eat the dogs. He dared me to do it and then repeated what has become one of the kids favorite dare sayings: 'leave no dare undone'. Nice attempt. I was already full and had no desire what so ever to eat a couple of hot dog wieners. So that then lead into the truth or dare thing. Nobody wanted to do the dare thing because that usually involved eating something at the table. I eventually got the dares off of food and onto funner things like everyone at the table singing happy birthday to our waiter, Johnny. It isn't his birthday but we sang it to him like it was. Fun stuff.
A little later Natty, catching my change of pace on the dare situation, dared Jack to go up and hug Johnny and tell him in a creepy voice "I killed mufasa". Johnny thought it was pretty funny but Jack thought it was hilarious. He laughed it up good and hard. Anyhow, we had fun with some other creative dares. It was good to go, relax and laugh with the kiddos. Sure do love them.
