A Night of Comedy of Errors

Today after a first for Emma and Delilah (seeing a movie at an actual movie house) and me spending alone time with Kelli, Kelli, Kelli (who I love more each time I spend with her even if she drives a taxi some days and a bus other days); Clark, Emma and I went out with the Mick, Chris and Kylie.

The Sieberts had been meaning to take Clark out for his birthday for sometime, so a reservation was made at a local eatery and away we went. Everything was fine when we were seated and drinks, bread and salad were served promptly. However the orders were not taken for sometime. Then we ordered and we waited and waited and waited. One hour, yes full hour passed, before a manager came over and explained, there was an issue in the kitchen and our order was just now being cooked. However by then our drinks were depeleted and our salad plates were still on the table. Drinks were refreshed and plates cleared while we waited another 30 minutes or so. Emma, our dear child was so good....

The food came finally. I had ordered medium steak and the steak was rare-gross for me!!! And both of the boys had fatty meat. We asked to see a desert menu, which we were promptly told we could only see a menu after Mick was finished eating. Seriously. As if ice cream, cookies, brownies or cake was really something special. The manager came over several times and would just hang out while we were still trying to eat and have a good time. It was either Mick or Clark that finally threatened anyone of us who prolonged the conversation longer than necessary with the manager. It was becoming quite the time. At last the manager came over and comped 3 of out of 6 meals and dessert.

All was fine and dandy, as the bill was being paid, Mick started to laugh and then Chris. Apparently on the remaining meals, a coupon that the Sieberts had that was about to expire was used along with the credit card. What could have been a very expensive meal turned out to not so bad for the Sieberts and at the end, Emma was good and we laughed so hard, tears were falling.

Our night of comedy of errors was incredibly fun!
