So last night was open house for Lu's school. Being the first year she has gone there, both SuperMom and I attended along with the three subjects. I was not aware that I was taking a night class however. The schedule for the meeting was 10 minutes in each of her classes separated by five minutes to get between classes. Total time of 2 hours. This started at 6:00 pm and thus lasted until 8:00 pm. Since I am still working to keep the lights on and the AC running, I got home in time to make the night class but not in time to eat dinner. So at 8:00 pm, I was starving. If you know the subjects, they can rarely agree on anything but they never agree on where they want to eat. So I decided that I would pick the environment for this particular experiment. I picked KFC/Taco Bell. In case you are not familiar, it is two fast food joints under one roof. I knew that DP would order cheese roll-ups, Jr could eat chicken strips, SuperMom would do tacos and nachos, I could get grilled chicken, and Lu would probably just be mad and eat a biscuit or something. I wasn't far off. Lu wanted only nachos but ended up eating one of DP's cheese rollups too. Jr got the $5 box. If you don't watch TV, you may not know the commercial talks about this $5 box. It includes 3 chicken strips, mashed potatoes, a biscuit, a drink, and "A Big Ol Cookie" (you must sing it like they do on the commercial which is above). Now Jr only really likes cheeseburgers and sweets. We try to add other things to his diet and thus required he eat at least one chicken strip. He had to choke it down before he ate the cookie. After squirming, fidgeting, and trying to weasel his way out of eating one, he finally finished it. Now it is time for him to eat the much anticipated cookie. Now for people who don't really know Jr well, he is the jokester, the comedian, the one that thinks he is so funny. He takes a couple of bites and sings "I don't like it. I love it, love it, love it. Uh oh." For the older generation that may not know, these are lyrics from the song "I don't like it, I Love it, by Flo Rida. Listen to the song (it is below) and then imagine Jr singing this after taking a couple bites. The reason it is so funny is he never skipped a beat. He took two bites and then broke out in song. No pauses, no laughter, just I am so happy about this cookie I must sing. Of course, SuperMom and I supplied the laughter.
