Honesty is the Best Policy?
By: Jack Date: May 29, 2018, 4:39 am
---------------------------------------------------------
While I encourage the boys to keep a regular schedule, I know
there's a lot going on this time of year, and I know many of
them are rather stressed right now. And sometimes a person just
needs to get some extra sleep when they have a chance.
After posting here, I went back to sleep for another 90 minutes
or so. When I woke, I felt great. I laid in bed and read for a
bit, then started feeling hungry, so I got up.
In the kitchen, Kenny was there trying to decide what he felt
like. I sat down and we discussed it. Neither one of us wanted
to cook for just two, but there were no signs anyone else was
even stirring. Suddenly I was hit by inspiration.
"Got get dressed. Quietly!"
Ten minutes later we jumped in the Jag and were off. This is
the perfect time of year for driving with the top down, and at
6:40, the sun was just rising, and the world had that golden
tint it sometimes does at sunrise and sunset in late spring and
early fall.
We went to Denny's, where Kenny had the All American Grand Slam
and I had the Moon Over My Hammy.
After breakfast, we went to the grocery store. We picked up
fresh baked good (muffins and danishes and sweet rolls and
donuts), extra juice and milk, and some cereal and toaster hash
browns.
When we got back, several people were moving around, and they
were glad to see us with our treasures.
As we put everything down and spread it out, the locusts started
to descend. Kenny, being a teenager now, even after having just
put all that away, still grabbed a chocolate donut.
"You don't want more? Aren't you hungry, Dad?" asked Colt.
I was about to tell them that Kenny and I had eaten before we
went to the grocery store, when Kenny replied, "Dad and I went
to Denny's."
All the sudden, those sweet rolls didn't look so good, and there
was a heartbroken wail of 'you didn't take us?"
"We asked all of you if you wanted to go, but no one answered."
"We were asleep!"
Fortunately, several of the college kids were up by this point,
so they took their little brothers to Denny's.
Believe it or not, all the sweet bread still disappeared before
my brothers started arriving at 11, but my kids still all put
away a big lunch.

That was very nice of the big brothers to take their little ones
out to breakfast and that you got to have some one on one with
Kenny....

I have never been a fan of Denny's.
Sweet bread has a different meaning around here. YUCK. :P
I am sure that a Denny breakfast, a bunch of pastry, and a big
lunch still didn't fill some of the bottomless pits that are
teen age boys.

I love Denny's.
Sweet Breads has that meaning here also. We are a huge hog
producing state. Every part of the hog is eaten, except the
hooves and oink. I am NOT a fan of Sweet Breads or Brain or
Chitterlings. Triple YUCK! :o
