It was about 9 o'clock when we reached Denny's. It felt so good to be out and about.
"Here we are. Asa, you want to run in and ask for a table for 5?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you."
"YES!" She quickly unbuckled and ran in. I slowly unbuckled and got out while David got the little ones out.
"Geeze, I feel like an old man."
"That's because you are," Eve quickly said.
"Thanks." I was sarcastic which made her laugh.
Asa ran back out.
"I told them table for 5 and the Miss said it would be 30 minutes."
"That's not too bad. Gives us time to think about what we want to do."
We walked into the restaurant. It was loud and clustered so almost immediately I walked right back out. David ran out with me.
"You ok?" He was genuinely concerned. He touched my shoulder.
"I'm fine. It just...too...peopley"
"I feel ya."
It was brisk outside. A bit cold, not too bad.
Soon the girls came out.
"They called us."
"Already? It's only been like 10 minutes."
Well, apparently someone didn't answer when they called them so we got their table. We followed the waitress to the booth near a window. I was walking a bit faster but was getting really tired. When we got to the table the girls got on one side and David and I got in the other.
"Penny, do you want a highchair?"
"No, Buddie, I'm a big girl!"
The girls got their child menus and we got the adult.
"Asa let me see yours." She passed it to me. "Ok girls, listen do you just want Pancakes?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok, I'll get Asa her own plate then Penny and Eve can share."
"But Hayden, I want my own plate."
"Eve, you never finish and I'm not going to waste food and money."
"But..."
"Eve, no."
"Mum always lets me get my own plate..."
"Well, Mum isn't here."
"Hayden..."
"Evelyne I said no."
She stopped arguing. She hated it when we used her real name. I hated it too but I was too tired to argue.
David could see I was getting tired so he took over.
"What do you want to drink?"
They all wanted milk.
"Do want chocolate milk?"
They lit up.
"Mum never lets us get chocolate milk!" Just then our waitress came.
"Hello, my name is Madison and I'll be your server. Can I get you started with any drinks or appetizers?"
"Ok, we'll have 3 chocolate milks for the girls, I'll have a coffee, Hayden what do you want? Tea?"
"Why do you think that?"
