They always f*ck you in the drive through!

[Dinner]

Pulled into Sonic, ordered three medium double cheese burger combos with ice teas, they gave me three ice teas and a bag, I asked if the bag contained all three combos, they said yes, and I drove off. Low and behold, when I arrived home my wife informed me there were only two double cheese burgers and two orders of fries. I had to drive back and show them the receipt and they did end up replacing it for free but it was rather a bother.

On top of that the boy insisted on removing all the lettuce, pickle, onions, and tomato from his burger. Hell, that is just about the only healthy stuff on a double cheese burger.

And now the boy is eating my French fries. I get no respect.

It's even more complicated when you have someone who has a severe dairy allergy.

(Never tried Sonic, but have done McDonalds, Burger King and In&Out. I prefer Burger King for their Impossible Burger (and previously they had a veggie burger). My daughters prefer McDonalds. McDonalds does do the Hamburger Happy Meal OK (and consistently dairy free). I don't get anything at McDonalds other than an Egg Biscuit on occasion.)

Interesting concept.

This requires stern words. Put your foot down with a firm hand.

Sonic is about the same as all the other fast food places though they claim not use the preservatives that you find in places like McD’s or BK. In ‘N Out is still the best fast food as it is made fresh to order using beef ground that day and a bun baked that morning. That said Sonic does have some nice fruit drinks and slushees made with real fruit and sometimes their hotdog menu hits the spot. They offer French fries but for the same price you can substitute tatter tots or onion rings which is nice. For a slight upcharge you can get breaded and fried zucchini bites or jalapeño cheese poppers.

I wasn’t really upset and he did ask me first. He and my wife started eating their combos while I went to ask the guy at Sonic what happened to the third. When I got home just enough time had passed so that he had finished his fries and could start staring covetously at my fries.

The weird thing is he only eats half of his burger at one time preferring to come back in an hour or two for the other half but if French fries are near him he will happily eat all in sight. I guess kids know what they like and we only get fast food once per week so it isn’t bad. It is kind of like a Friday night treat for him plus my wife likes having one night off where she doesn’t have to cook.

It is a quote from the origin Lethal Weapon movie.

Next observation: Little boys do not ever want to get into the shower, conversely once they get into the shower you cannot get them out of the shower. That is right, he will spend a half hour declaring he doesn’t need a shower and that he hates the shower, then after he gets in the shower he will declare he loves the shower and never wants to leave even though he has been in there for an hour. This is one of those mysteries parents just have to figure out. Perhaps he is just disagreeable.

TIL that restaurants work very differently in California.

Would be a very slow line, unless it's more like a drive-in restaurant? Or maybe you take the whore home with you, but then how does she get back to the brothel?

[SlowwHand]

Uber.

[Egbert]

Oerdin.
Your kid sounds like a normal boy.
Nor eating greens, eating your freedom fries, not wanting to shower then staying in the shower. Sounds normal.

Ten minutes in the back seat and away you go.
