BEWARE of Surprises!

Last Thursday I asked Bart if he was up for an "adventurous surprise." He eyed me warily and asked what it was, but no matter what, I would not tell him; he would simply have to meet me at Chik-Fil-A the next day during his lunch break.


When I promised him good food he relented.

Not having been to a Chick-Fil-A in years I had no idea where one was, but soon found out that 3652 Walls ended up at... the MALL. I started to question my own adventurous spirit, but took courage as I tied a lovely cow patterned hair tie in my own hair and dressed the kids in full cow garb.







I then dutifully marched my crew through the mall where we got many smiles, stares and giggles. We were even approached by an 18 year-ish cell phone keosk person who asked us to stop by and give him our costumes when we were done.

As Bart came in to the food court he walked right by our cow-adorned children, thinking they were "cute" but not realizing they were his.

"Are you ready for your surprise?" I inquired, holding out a hat with cow ears pinned to it, spots and a lovely nose for him to wear. I informed him that he could either wear the full garb for a complete meal or he could borrow my hair tie to put around his neck for only an entre.

After chastising me for not wearing the entire cow outfit and giving him my fries and drink, he made a decision; fries and a drink won over pride. As he dressed in his cow attire he made it very clear there were to be NO PICTURES! Soon he was trotting off to get his free Chicken Club Sandwich meal (YUM!) complete with drink and fries.

Man I wish I had that picture!
