But yesterday I had a classic! One where I wish I had a video camera recording in the car.
The weather was odd and slightly wet. DD and I just wanted to listen to our audio story, so we drove around. (Yes, we could have taken the CD and brought it inside, but there are too many distractions inside!) It was close to lunch time and I was not feeling brave enough to take them out of the car to get anything. My initial drive-thru option (the big M) was wacked by thoughts of fatty oil after tastes and reminders of it being "toxins" (as DD says). My options were limited, but fortunately I found myself near the only Nandos' drive-thru that I know of. Now they are not the most efficient - I actually switched the car off... there wasn't exactly a queue!
So we were sitting in the car and DD asks what we are doing - I explain that we are here to buy lunch and are waiting for it. A few minutes later, the cashier sorts out the drinks order, as well as the kiddie toys. She throws in balloons. You had to see the excitement on their faces!! You'd swear they won money! DS screamed of joy to get a balloon. The "lucky" packet of balloon PLUS toy PLUS juice was equally thrilling to DD !! The kids played with their toys, examining the odd squid-like thing they got. And this is the video capture moment .....
DD turns to me, realising we are STILL parked "what are we waiting for ?"
"Well, we didn't come her for a free balloon my dear, I am waiting for the FOOD !"
