How to embarrass your children

On Monday, after picking Holly and Diz up at lunchtime from school, they wanted to go to McDonalds.

So off we went to the drive in, gave them our order then drove to the next window to pay.

As I handed my card over to the young guy at the window, Diz said dreamily from the back seat "that guy's got lovely eyes".  Holly and I both took a good look at him and then Holly agreed saying "mmmmmmmmmm".

As the guy handed my card back to me, I said " oh by the way, these girls think that you have lovely eyes". I heard a sharp intake of breath from both Holly and Diz and the young guy said "sorry, I didn't catch that". So I repeated it again and I could literary feel the girls slink down into their seats! He heard me the second time cos he rewarded me with this huge grin and Oh My God he had the most gorgeous eyes when he smiled!!!

I turned to look at Holly who had turned her head away and she had her hand across her face, hiding and then Diz who had slid so far down in her seat, I could barely see her. I drove to the next window with Holly and Diz spluttering their indignation at me and all I could do was chortle and snigger cos it was so so funny.

Our order wasn't ready so we drove round to get a parking space and waited for them to bring it out to the car.  Holly and Diz were still muttering about me "totally embarrassing them". I laughed and said "hey, at least we know he isn't bringing out the orders cos that other guy is", pointing to the guy in question.

That seemed to appease them for a while but they were starting to see the funny side by this time and were still going on about how hot he was and what a cute smile he had. I took this opportunity to point out that "they wouldn't have even seen his smile if it weren't for me!"

We were still talking about him when suddenly he appeared round the building, looked around and started walking towards us with two bags. There was a sharp intake of breath from both Holly and Diz and I started to wind down the window....on Holly's side!  By the time he got to the window, Holly was lying face down across two seats, trying to hide as he handed me the bags through the window. Diz had all but disappeared in the back seat, she'd slunk so low! He was really having a good chuckle at this point and I truly thought Holly and Diz were gonna pass out.

hide me, hide me, mortification!

I laughed so hard the tears were running down my face and I could hardly see to drive out of the car park.

I laughed about it all the way home. Holly and Diz were actually quite impressed by the fact that he came out to give us our order but not so impressed when we realised we'd been given the wrong order! Diz's eyes lit up when she said "we'll have to go back" and both Holly and I shouted "NO WAY".

So the joke was on me in the end cos I ended up with a burger that I would not normally order while Holly and Diz made off with the other stuff.

It tasted ok though and it was sooooooooooo worth it!
