A Jack and Karen sort of night...

kybearfuzzAfter work today I went to see Mom and sit a spell with her. My sister showed up after work and I offered to buy her dinner. We went to the Depot on Main, which is one of the new restaurants in town.
I immediately recognized our waiter "Rob" from when he worked at another local restaurant. He's a cute graying cub sort, stocky and furry with a nice raspy voice. The sis and I both believe he's family, which suits me just fine ;) I felt guilty not calling the twin to see if he wanted to go. After we ate out without him before at one of town's new alcohol-serving restaurants, he was mad at us for two days.
An idea developed quickly to deal with the problem. Like Jack and Karen on Will & Grace, we told Rob on one of his passes by to check on us that we were going to call him "Wendy." We explained the twin-getting-mad-at-us scenario and that we wanted to call him that so when he asked we could say that we ate at "Wendy's." He was game and his tip reflected that.
"Wendy"... it's better, Nescafe?
