"Do you want fries with that?"

I don't know if you know this but I love my husband. He quite handsome. He's super goofy. He is also pretty much brilliant. He knows the most random, interesting facts about everything. For example, did you know that Fred Rogers (aka Mr. Rogers) wore those sweaters to hid extensive tattoos on his forearms that he got when he was a Marine? Or that the largest chunk of gold ever discovered is in Antarctica, but international law prohibits mining on the continent. Also, did you know that Ernest Hemingway wrote the first chapter of The Old Man and the Sea while sitting on the loo? Okay, David didn't tell me that last one but that's crazy, huh??!

Anyways. It's important for you to know that I love D. And he is pretty much one of the best people alive. I simply adore that kid.

That being said; the kid has the hardest time ordering food without it ending with him and the person taking our order being so confused that it would be easier to just say “Nevermind”, do a lap through the drive-thru and start over. I'm not much help because I'm usually in the passenger seat laughing. But like I said...I sure love him!

Here's where the problem stems: D is just too polite. For example, instead of just ordering the food all at once, he will order one item then wait for it to come up on the screen then he will say the next item. I can understand that he doesn't want to say it so fast that the person is scrambling. But when he pauses, they think he's done ordering so they tell the total and ask him to pull up to the first window. Sometimes this happens 3 or 4 times an order. Each time he states he's not done ordering. Again-I'm in the passenger seat laughing.

Sometimes he says “Thank You” instead of pausing after ordering an item and waiting for it to come up on the screen. This causes more confusion for the order-taking dear and D. Again-I'm in the passenger seat laughing.

Eventually everything gets squared away and we pull forward. We usually get our food pretty quickly after ordering-no matter where we go. I think it's because they want us to go away fast.

He's just too darn cute for his own good!
