I don't always break my blogging fasting, but when I do, it's because I have to record history.
This evening, we were playing restaurant and Benjamin was the server.
He was taking my order for a pizza and was asking what ingredients I wanted on my pizza.
So I asked for bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and garlic.
Benji: We actually do'nt have garlic
Me: Are you sure? maybe you shoud got check with the kitchen
he leaves to check with the kitchen
he comes back
Benji: Yes, I checked and we REALLY don't have garlic
Me: WHAT?!? You are out of GARLIC??!!!! how can that BE????
He is quiet for a bit, but maybe like 3 seconds and comes back with
"But we DO have onions!"
I mean, I am not saying this because I'm his mother and stuff, but how impressive is that?
#1. His ability to think on his feet
#2. His ability to remain calm under pressure (because I was a not-so-happy customer about to have no garlic on my pizza)
#3.Providing a solution that actually made sense. Garlic... onions... they are almost like the same thing in the eyes of a 6 year old (and probably most adults)
