Merry Moments - June 27, 2008
Posted by Deb under *The Merry Heart
When we were first married, my husband Jim and I were out one Saturday running errands. We wanted to get everything done at once so we wouldn’t have to come back out again. We went from place to place and realized that it had gotten late, and we hadn’t had lunch. And we were starving! So, on the way home, Jim stopped by the closest fast food restaurant to order from their value menu. They had double cheeseburgers for a dollar, and we both agreed that we wanted two of them for each of us, and we got one large Diet Coke to share because the drinks cost more than the cheeseburgers! When Jim pulled up to place our order, he said, “I’ll have 4 double cheeseburgers and a large Diet Coke, and that will be all.” The irony of that was so funny that we both burst out laughing. When the lady asked over the speaker if we wanted fries with that, we were laughing so hard that Jim could barely answer her. Maybe it was just because we were tired and hungry and punchy, but by the time we pulled up to the window to get our order, we were crying we were laughing so hard. I’m sure the woman who handed us our order didn’t see the humor in the four double cheeseburgers with a large Diet Coke, but it just cracked us up. We still laugh when we think about, and we have made that same order more than once!

I never had it happen in a funny way, but apparently I’m not the only one who’s tossed in a “and that’s it” or “and that’s all” to cut off questions about whether I also want a this or that with those…
