And, of course I documented all the soda-interactions I had.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have written it ... right?
Well, since I accidentally revisited the blog post, I should tell you what happened when I revisited the restaurant.
Driving home from basketball practice 2 weeks ago, I asked my son and his friend if they'd like to stop at Arby's. (this is because THEY had basketball practice. I didn't).
They were on the fence about Arby's and when we stopped at a traffic light they saw 5 Guys and petitioned to go THERE.
I really, really wanted Arby's to be honesy.
But I'd not been to Five Guys in some time, (maybe only once or twice since the blog, to be honest) so I relented. After all, it was the friend's favorite place to eat so I wanted to come off as "the coolest dad ever".
We got inside, and I don't see any prices on the Giant Sized Menu behind the counter, so I said the "Coolest Dad Ever" thing.
I said "Go ahead and order whatever you want. Just please eat whatever you order."
As I recall, the order looked like this:
Son = Burger, fries, Soda
Friend = 2 Burgers, fries, Soda
Dad = 1 burger, 1 hot dog, soda
Bill = $57.90
FOR LUNCH!??!?!?!?
Ah, HELLLLLLLL NOOOOOOO.
Well, on the INSIDE I said "ah hell no"
On the Outside I glared at my son and just...paid it.
After all, I'm the Coolest Dad Ever.
I'm also the broke-est dad ever.
I ALSO set a new rule with my son.
NO MORE FIVE GUYS
We can go to McDonald's if we want a hamburger...
