You Know You Eat Out Too Much When...

Jacob loves to pretend he's a server/cook at a restaurant. He'll ask us, "Um, what would you like to eat?" And we'll say something like, "Chicken." A lot of times, the answer is, "We don't have that."

"Okay, I'd like some salad."

"We don't have that, either."

"A sandwich?"

"Nope."

"What DO you have?"

"We have burgers, fish, and iced tea." (It varies quite a bit depending on his mood.)

After you choose one of the few items they have, he will go into his kitchen and make it for you. Once you've had a chance to eat, he'll clear away your dishes and ask if you'd like to take some home. Then you get a basket with leftover food!

Tonight Jacob added another step. As he was carrying away the plate, he stopped himself and then put it on his arm the way servers do when they're carrying several plates at once. He initially did it with his palm facing down. Greg showed him that it works better palm up. Jacob happily carried two plates at once on his arm (see above).

Needless to say, Greg and I were pretty amused.
