ella and i got stood up for a last minute dinner date and tony was off playing poker, so we went to dinner, just the two of us.

it’s always interesting to see how wait staff handle seating a kid. he brought us to our table, put down two menus, two sets of cutlery, and started to leave us to our booth.

um. ella in a booth? with a fork and a knife? and a menu?

where do i begin with all the things wrong with this picture? i guess it wasn’t obvious she needed a high chair. and a spork. and a tarp for the floor. he quickly figured it out. with a little help.

we enjoyed our dinner of greasy spoon fare. and there was a chocolate milk shake for dessert, so of course we had a great time. but probably the highlight of the dinner were the people sitting behind us.

in no particular order, a gay man that looked like captain kangaroo dressed vaguely like a pirate (without the hat and eye patch or boots), an older single woman (read: fag hag) and one rather handsome woman with a “future porn star” t-shirt. i was too distracted at first by the icky t-shirt to notice the woman. she had really big hands. and an adam’s apple.

ahhhh. the variety of south city diner. who needs television with people watching like this?
