Do you want fries with that?

Last night we made a run to McDonald’s for dinner.  We always go to the drive thru and bring the food home so that the boys can go with us.  Drive thrus are one of their favorite places to go in the car.

Last night the boys were riding in the back seat using their new seat belts and the back windows were down about 3/4 of the way.  We got to the drive thru, placed our order and pulled up the first window.  We paid the lady and were about to pull up to the next window when she spotted the boys peaking out of the car trying so hard to catch a glimpse inside.  She enthusiastically screamed, “Oh, puppies!” and tried to reach out to pet the boys.  The boys of course were loving the attention.

When we pulled up to the next window, there were about four people standing there waiting to say hello to the boys.  Again the boys were loving the attention and stretching as far out the window as they could.  The next thing I know someone hands a napkin out the window to us.  Inside the napkin is two chicken McNuggets.  The boys’ eyes lit up when they saw and smelled the nuggets.  We let them eat the McNugget in the car and everyone watching from the window, including two managers, got a kick out of watching them eat the McNuggets.

Needless to say, that really made the boys’ night.  It will be interesting to see how they act the next time they go to McDonalds.  I’m sure they will be anxiously waiting for their next McNugget!
