We're Going Where?

A few weeks ago, our ladies group from church was going to Vermillion for a fun lunch out. The kids came along to Bible study, then were going to go home with Dan while I went to the restaurant with the ladies. When someone suggested going to "Little Italy's", Sarah became very interested and started asking if she could come along ("I will be very good!"). We decided that she could come along for our all-girls lunch.

Dan took the boys home, and Sarah and I rode down to the restaurant with one of the other ladies. On the way there, she was talking about how she has always wanted to go to Italy for lunch. She said that she remembered seeing a TV show about Italy, and it looked really neat. I was feeling quite proud of her geographic knowledge until she finally said, "Will our food be served by an animal?"

That puzzled the grownups. When she started asking about the talking coyote and the ball pit, I was pretty sure there had been a misunderstanding. It turns out that when we said "Little Italy's", Sarah thought we had said, "Gigglebee's", a local restaurant like Chuck-E-Cheese's! Looking pretty disappointed, she asked forlornly, "So our food will be served by a human?"

Despite the lack of animatronic waiters, we all had a good time, and Sarah enjoyed her chicken fingers with ranch dressing.
