Hahaha! The South.

This is Koan. He is 2. He and Michaela are very good friends.


Our good friends the Kuemichaels(Jackie, Brandon and Koan) wanted to go out to lunch with us yesterday. I decided that I would let them pick where and not complain about it. (they like IHOP) Joe thought it would be funny if they picked IHOP because I do not want to eat there, or at the waffle house, or at Mourice's BBQ, or fried chicken!!! So he gets them to pick IHOP. Brandon said "you need more than tofu to help that baby grow". I said "what hummus?".(Jackie recently called me and told me that she wanted to try tofu and hummus for the first time and asked me how to prepare and eat them. lol.)
We drive to the IHOP at 11:00 on a Sunday morning. There are no parking spots. People are parked in places that are not parking spots. I think people were waiting in their cars in the street to get in! Baptists must go to church kind of early.
Next to the IHOP is an Applebees, THEE Applebees with the sweet waiter and his sweet tea. There were no cars in the parking lot, so we had no choice but to eat at Applebees. The Kuemichaels learned 2 valuable lessons. 1. I have a history of getting what I want. 2. On a Sunday in the south everyone dresses up, big hats and all, goes to church, then goes out to eat. Going out to eat is an all day affair.
Yeasterday, I loved the south.
