Dinner with the boys

Dinner with the boys

A friend drove up at 6:30 for one of our semi-monthly din din's. We did the belated Christmas gift exchange - a book from him and a toy from me. Quirky gifts from one big kid to another.

(In the car)

Him: Where do we want to eat?

Me: I don't know. Where do you want to go?

Him: No. you think of some place?

Me: Let's try O'Charley's.

Him: Yeah. OK.

(Later in the car at O'Charley's.)

Me: Christ. Look at the crowd. We don't want to wait that long.

Him: Well, let's look at the boys first.

Me: Let's try Brick Oven.

Him: Remember the last time we said we weren't going back.

Me: Let's try the Mex place around the corner.

Him: Lousy food.

Me: Macraoni's.

Him: Barf!!!

Me: (Sarcastically) I know! Let's try Grady's.

Him: (To the sound of screeching brakes) Get out of the car this instant!

Me. Ok! Ok! Let's do On the Border.

Him: Yeah, they're not too bad.

Me: (Couple of minutes later) Holy fuck, boy wonder! Where did all these people come from?

Him: It's Saturday night. Now what?

Me: Let's try the other Mexican place. What is it?

Him: I know the one.

Me: (A few minutes later) Here we are.

(Inside the restaurant)

Me: I'll go stand over there and boy watch while you get your drink.

Him: (Later. Sipping drink) Hmmmm!

Me: Let's ok outside.

Him: OK!

Me: (In a whisper) Yow! Look! Yummy!

Him: (Gutteral sound)

Me: Why the fuck can't they bring back tight jeans?

Him: Yep! Know what you mean.

Me: (Long soliloquy of watching WB this week.)

Him: (Smoking)

Me: Oh! Cluck! Cluck!

Him: Jail Bait!

Me: (Holding bizarre square pager that begins to glow.) Ah, food!

And that was dinner with the boys!

PAX!
