Been there...

Fernando had lots of work to do, so this rainy and "cold front" Sunday was good for staying at home till lunch.
Eric had mentioned his group of friends were getting together at a new mall for us to watch a movie, so we decided to have our late lunch there. It turns out this is a very nice mall and we found a great Asian restaurant. Of course there was a wait-to-be-seated-line, but mommy knows best and now I actually FEED my family before going out to eat, so the wait was totally easy for us. Now we didn't care if it took them forever to serve us, and we realized they probably do it on purpose so that people can talk to each other and enjoy the day out. Nobody else seems to care that everything is so slow, they even enjoy it!
So, while we waited, we asked Eric all the details about this group outing. He wasn't very sure who was going, but he "had a number".
"whose number is it?" asked a nosey mom.
"hmm, I don't know, but it's someone who's organizing the whole thing, look"
"ha, I bet it's a girl's!" pointed out a smiley dad.
"naawwhh. what are you talking about" replied the red faced teen.
"And, I bet the group is made of only two... the girl and you!", ventured dad.
"no way!" said Eric.
"wanna bet?" chorused the parents!
That's why we were all cracking up when it turned out that it was Luna's phone number, the girl from the States, and guess what? nobody could go to the movies today!
Delicious food finally arrived and so did another phone call: "Eric, wanna come to my house instead?", but mom & dad were not going to let a good family Sunday go away... neither were they going to leave their little baby with God knows who!...  you know how those girls are!  ;-)
