A Midnight Trip

Hello!!

We seem to have a little tradition 

where each year before school starts in the fall

we go on a midnight trip to eat out. This LO

is from last years adventure:

The Journaling:

To Dennys we did go

You know normal people are asleep at one o’clock in the morning…

but who said our family was normal.

This summer we just-so-happened to be awake 

at one a.m. when we decided to go to Dennys for pancakes. 

So we threw some clothes on hopped in the car and left. 

As if that wasn’t crazy enough, on our way there 

we got pulled over by some random cop. 

When he got to our window the first thing he asked was 

“Where are you going, a party, the casino?” 

Mom then responded in a classic slap-happy-high piched-yay 

voice “to Dennys for pancakes!!!”

 He then told her she had a headlight out,

 and in the same voice she responded

 “ Oh that dumb thing, will you just kick it for me?” 

His face turned pink with the controlled desire 

to laugh or the this is awkward look.  

I still think he should have made her do a sobriety test, 

now that would have been funny. 

However, he let us go with a simple warning. 

After that everything is pretty well normal, 

I mean for a one a.m. trip to Dennys.

This is from this years adventure:

The Journaling:

For the past couple of years,

It’s been tradition that before

school starts each fall,

my family and I go to 

a restaurant at midnight.

This year we went to Steak and Shake for french fries. 

This year wasn’t as slap-stick as last year, 

when we got pulled over by the police. L

Some traditions are strange, 

but we top them all!! 

The trip was fun and the food was good, 

but most importantly

I was with my family!! J
