Thanks for stopping by again! Why not stay connected by subscribing to my RSS feed.

So, I’m back to finish the story from my last post. Like I said: We’re out at Chili’s celebrating Mae’s 19th birthday. The waiter brings her a huge lava cake topped with ice cream. Then he clears his throat and says, “And here…” and slides a piece of folded paper under her plate.

We start to giggle a little and wait for her to read it. We’re dying of curiosity. Then, she starts cracking up. She shows us the note. 

It looks like Matt had some help writing the note. Notice how the P.S. is in a different handwriting with a different pen?

Pretty soon we’re all giggling like a bunch of school kids. “Mae, write something back!” I say.

“What should I write?”

“Say, ‘Matt, I’ve been staring at your butt all night.’ ” says her dad.

“Daaaad! No way. I can’t say that!”

I give her another idea and then she jots down this at the top of the receipt:

Thanks Matt.  I’ve been watching you all night.  - Mae

Then for the final touch, she draws this.

We tuck the note in with the money and leave in a hurry, laughing the whole way out. There are windows all around the restaurant, and as we round the corner we look back and can see the waiter. He’s got a big smile on his face and he’s showing the note to the other servers. Of course, this sets off another round of laughs from us; and, it gives the girls something to talk and giggle about all the way home.

I’ve been laughing so much my stomach hurts. I think: what a perfect ending to Mae’s birthday. This was just too much fun; though, I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to show our faces in there again. Well, Kiki’s birthday is in April. Maybe by then…
