We've Got Onions!

 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)
