Saturday night!
So, I thought it would be funny to tell the hostess that is was Grandpa Bob’s birthday! Well, it was funny, but I will never, ever do it again. Our waiter comes to the table and says aloud, ” I hear we have a birthday boy today.” I pointed towards my Grandpa and he totally denied it–Apparently, the restaurant in which were dining has a birthday policy of giving a free meal to the person who has a birthday. The only requirement is that they have to show an I.D. to prove it’s their birthday. Gramps wouldn’t even pull his wallet out, he said,”don’t rush me to 80, I’m old enough.” I felt like a total dope. I didn’t want a free meal; I just wanted to embarrass him. I told the waiter that my Grandpa’s birthday was in the future and they ended up giving him a bowl of ice cream. The waiter totally knew I was lying and to top it off on the way out, Gramps decided to tell the waiter it was all a joke. I was totally humiliated, we all laughed the whole way home!!
