Dad and I went out to a new restaurant for dinner. I rarely try new places since Dad really just likes grilled chicken and hamburgers, but I decided to take a chance. So we looked at the menu and it was a lot of fancy dishes, but I finally spotted the hamburger hidden between the scallops with bacon, and shrimp spring rolls. Then Dad saw that the hamburger was $8.99 and refused to order one, citing the "outrageous price". He said he would just eat a peanut butter sandwich when we got home. I whispered to the waitress to bring him the burger anyway. Once he got it, he said that it was the best burger he could remember (true) and I just decided to not show him the bill at the end of the meal. I suppose the best burger Dad has eaten in 82 years must be worth $8.99, but he'll never know! |
