Mr. Guy was busy with construction stuff today and The Lady went to school to do some work today. I understand about Mr. Guy and the construction, but I thought The Lady got tired retired and stopped going to school. Now she is going again. I guess this makes her unretired. When she got home, though, she said she was just tired. Mr. Guy suggested that we go out for dinner since The Lady was tired. She decided that she wanted to go to the loo bees. Mr. Guy thought that sounded good to him and he told me that he thought that I would like it too.
Loo bees? I have been to England so I know about loos. And, I have been to lots of gardens so I also know about bees. I don’t want to do anything at a loo where there are bees and I especially don’t want to eat bees in a loo. The Lady must be very tired to suggest this for our dinner! This was the best we could do for my first meal out in two years?
I didn’t say anything. I kept my little monster mouth closed and hoped for something better than this sounded right then.
We hopped in the car and headed for the loo bees.
When Mr. Guy parked the car and said we were there, I didn’t see anything that looked like the loos that I remembered from England…or any bees flying around. Things were looking up.
Mr. Guy carried me in the front door. Still no bees. Just a long line of people. He explained that I had never been here before and that this is a different kind of place to eat called a cafeteria. That is a funny sounding word…it sort of sounds like bacteria, which reminds of the loo because The Lady always told me to wash my monster mitts very well after visiting the loo so I wouldnt get germs. It also sounds like wisteria, a plant that I’ve seen while visiting gardens, one that attracts bees. Maybe this is all starting to make sense.
We joined the line and walked until we saw this sign that explained how we would get our food. Oh, and I saw another sign that said Luby’s instead of loo bees. I felt a whole lot better then.
But, still unsure how this all was going to work. Mr. Guy explained that we would keep walking through the line and I could see all of the food choices. I would just tell the servers what I wanted to eat and they would dish it up for me.
There was SO much food! So much food that it looked like a grocery store where they had already recycled all of the packaging before you even bought the food!
I thought I would have a hard time figuring out what I would eat, but since orange food is my favorite, and there weren’t many orange choices, it wasn’t too hard to choose my dinner.
I ordered sweet potatoes!
They are one of my favorite orange foods…second maybe only to Cheetos.
I wasn’t sure tonight’s adventure was going to be a good one, but in the end, this furry little blue and orange monster ended up with a full belly and a happy heart!
