Nanny Adventures

Tonight, the 11 yr old kidlet asked if we could go to McDonald’s for dinner. Sure fine-it is raining and sleeting.  The older kidlet is gone. So it is just the two of us for dinner.

We get there and I use my AMEX to pay for dinner.  He gets a Mighty Kids Meal and was completely bummed it was only a double hamburger and not bigger fries etc.  I had a nasty Big Mac. He ended up tasting it and wanted to order that next time.  We were talking about how it had like 3 days worth of calories in it.  (Yeah I know why did I order it?-I lost .75lbs in the past 2 weeks I was celebrating :) )   So after he was done eating he was still hungry.  So he asked if he could get a chicken wrap. I said sure.  So I gave him my AMEX to use and he goes up there and buys 2 of them and  a sugar cookie.  They let a 11 yr old use a credit card without ID.  I was cracking up to myself–some credit card security you got going here.   So the kidlet comes back to table and hands me the receipt (good kid) and it only has 2 wraps one it no cookie.  He then goes and gets his food.  He tells the guy, I ordered a sugar cookie and he said I only charged you for 2 snack wraps.   So he walked away disappointed that he didn’t get a cookie.  This is added to the fact that the Mcflurry machine was broken and there was no McFlurry or Ice Cream.

Moral of the story:

Don’t go to McD’s for dinner and don’t expect to get ice cream/Mcflurry because it will be broken and defintely give your kids your Credit Card because they won’t ask for ID!
