Not that you know me..

okay so i have a story!!!
i hope you guys can follow along and picture yourselves there because im afraid that might be the only way you find it funny (and just to warn you, this could be long)
so it starts like this...its 5 o clock and im watching this 15 year old boy sing Let It Be on ellen degeneres and tricia calls saying i have 5 minutes to be ready to go to Michaels and then go to dinner...i am looking SCRUB. but luckily i showered yesterday, but my hair is curly and poofed up and i had my bangs pinned back with no makeup on.. oh and im wearing a hoodie i threw on.
so we go to michaels...blahblalh unsuccessful trip...but then we go to steak and shake.
our waiter comes and he looks like 16 and has the LOUDEST voice you could imagine...seriously so i find that comical. he gets our drinks and stuff and then we go to order our real food so i told him i wanted the salad and he goes "great choice, i love that" and he doenst say anything to anyone else. then i ask if it has bacon on it and he says (quickly) "no, i dont think so. why? would you like some??" and i laughed and said no. thinking it waas sort of strange.
every 3 minutes after that he came back asking if we would like refills or if everyting was goig good...literally. then he came over and goes did you get your ranch dressing?(even though he could see it) and i said um yeah. we're good. and he says "okay good!!!! i was bak there and i started worrying about whether you got it or not."
by this point we all start cracking up every time he leaves thinking he probably is just a poor hs kid that wants a tip.
but he keeps up the coming to our table every 2 minutes and everytime he asks something to anybody he directs it at me. hah oh jeez.
then i decide i want desert so i tell him i want a strawberry sundae but first im i ask how big it is and he assured me it as just like a scoop and that i could handle eating it. so tricia orders her parfait and we think hes gonna walk away after her writes it down so i start talking about when juliet coes home and he interrupts me and goes
"so, where you do you go school?"
(and it went like this)
me: umm...davidson. well actually i graduated in january
him:you graduated??? thats so coool
me: yep. im actually a genius
tricia: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? YOU???? A GENIUS????
him: im just a junior.
me: hm. that stinks, you still have forever to go
(then mom, being the nice person she is..)
mom: well dont worry youre actaully almost done
him: this is like the hardest year of my life!!! i have three tests tomorrow can you believe that??? by the way whwere are you going for college?
(at this point i think its strange that he is still standing here talking to me when he should be working..and his voice is so loud its carrying and people are staring at us)
me: im not really sure
him: oh yeah? well hey, ill get your dessert
so he's gone for a little bit and everytime he walks by our table he points at me and sys dont worry its coming with a big goofy smile...and i just laugh at the weirdness.
then he comes back with my sundae that he said was little and its like two feet tall...seirously so i make him feel bad by going on at how huge it is. and he goes 'i dont know...it wasn't 2 scoops when i got it, they must really like you' and it sounded SO awkward. haha it takes a very secure person to say stuff like that infront of my mom and sister!! so tricia said i turned red...and at first i was like thats weird im not a blusher but then i rethought of the situation and i was like um okay that was worthy of it cause it was so strange sounding.
so i ask for a bowl to scoop some of the icecream off and he comes back and im trying to do it without spilling everything and he just stands and watches and reaches over mom to ask if i need any help. i said no and he told tricia that he would go get hers in a second.
THEN (try to keep paying attention, i know its long) he came back and said "theres a problem...you see, the guy who makes the shakes doesn't exactly speak english and my spanish isn't that great so i have to get a manager to translate but i promise it wont be long.." and we all (especially tricia) start cracking up..then we hear him go in the kitchen and say
"ummm...parfait-o? el ...la...parfait!?!"
hahah
so he comes back and then walks up to mom cause she didt order dessert and said that he made this kid size milkshakes on accident and asked her if she wanted one while she waited..which was nice of him.
then we're sliding out to leave and he said and i quote....
"hey thanks for coming guys!!!! just let me know if you want to come again!!!"
and
i
lost
it.
i almost peed my pants.... lol thats like something you say when you drop your friend off after going somewhere together.
so he realized thats a stupid thing to say so he added "i mean...not that you know me...but....uhh..." and he was embarassd which made it even better.
i hope you guys can picture this and at least smile a little bit because it was the funniest day of my life..even a guy a few booths over looked at us and started cracking up.
i told tricia that next time i'll wear makeup and straighten my hair and maybe we'll get free meal :)
good times good times.
