Frankly you should have asked him first.


Sunday night we went out to Sweet Tomatoes with Lina. Sweet Tomatoes is a buffet. During the meal a nice looking busboy was assigned to our section. I had been watching him while eating and had commented he was extreamly good looking with long hair. Lina had her back to the room. I called him over because our iced tea tasted like coffee and we needed a new glass. Lina took one look at him and became speechless. Thats when I noticed his name tag...Frank. The rest of the meal I was silly jokes like "Frankly I want me a piece of that" I know..real grown up but I had Mom and Lina laughing.
We took Lina home and she noticed she didn't have her arm brace. She remembered taking it off to eat. So we drove back out to Sweet Tomatoes. I told her she should ask Frank.
I sat outside waiting. It seemed like a long time. I saw Lina come out disappointed looking once, then she went back in the out door. Thats when I saw her talk to Frank and he left to go to the back and came back with her brace.

When she got back in the car she told us the manager looked in the lost and found first and didn't find it. She tried to explain where we were sitting but she didn't know the name of the busboy.
I said how could you not know his name? I only made a hundred jokes about his name. She told me she didn't really think Frank was his name...she thought I was joking.
So when she finally went in the out, and talked to Frank is when she saw his name tag.



Frankly my dear...nevermind

Frankly speaking, a good sense of humor just seems to go over so many people's heads anymore! Luckily my kids are just as corny as I am sometimes. I was really cutting up with the one-liners after we saw "Sweeney Todd" last week and I thought Amanda was going to throat if I didn't stop!
