Kids are so funny. Last night Addie and I were watching something on Youtube where a family goes around to drive throughs and for their order, they say “We’ll take what the people in front of us ordered.” They never know what they’re getting. They open the bag and it may be chicken strips, chicken sandwich, weird sauces. It’s usually McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A . . places like that.
Addie and I were laughing and saying the next time we go somewhere with Vince and go to a drive through (which won’t happen because he won’t do drive thrus), when he asks us what we want, one of us will say “I want whatever the people in front of us ordered” and the other of us will say “me too”. Vince would be in shock!
Addie: I hope the car in front of us has two kids and they have two Happy Meals. I’ll eat both of those!
Me: What if it’s two old people and they have coffee and fish sandwiches?
Addie: Well . . I’ll drink the coffee and you can have the fish sandwiches.
Me: You like coffee??
Addie: I never had it but it has to be better than a fish sandwich!
Just thinking about the look on Vince’s face if we did that . . it won’t work because by the time we stop to eat, I have to go to the bathroom and seeing his reaction and me needing to go to the bathroom . . that would NOT be good! 🙂
Within five minutes of Addie and I having that conversation, she asked me at least three times .. when do you think Grumps will take us to a drive through? I didn’t tell her that in almost 25 years of marriage, I’m not sure we’ve EVER been through a drive through.

LOVE this story, but the big question I have is: What’s the deal with Vince and no drive-thrus?! Spill the beans!
Oh, and Happy Easter!

I wish I knew. I’d go to a drive thru every time, eve if it meant eating in the car, but he will not. We went to Chick-Fil-A once when the inside was closed due to the pandemic, and my guess guess, based on the lines at the drive-thru is that they’re still closed. We found a shady area, sat in the car and had a picnic of sorts under the trees. I thought it was quite nice but he would never do it again because he won’t go through a drive thru.

That is the ONLY thing my husband will do for take out since the pandemic is a drive through. Actually we didn’t eat out at all for the first three months of the pandemic and since then it is drive through only. We will either have a picnic in the car or outside if the weather is nice. Hopefully the end is in sight soon.

I’m with Addie about fish anything, but I wouldn’t think coffee would be any better! Vince could have the coffee.
Judy Laquidara says
No coffee or me but I could eat most any kind of fish every day.
Ruth says
Maybe Vince doesn’t like to talk to an intercom? Maybe he can’t hear what the intercom is saying? Maybe he can’t drive in a tight circle?
