It's just what she's always wanted!

Today is my Mother's Birthday, and she got the PERFECT gift!

She had *wanted* to go to Skippers for dinner (Skippers is the Mirror-Universe twin of "Long John Silvers", for those of you who have no idea what or who a "Skippers" might be). When they got there, she saw a sign proclaiming "You'll love our NEW Clam Chowder!"

She had a sample-taste from the Manager.

And she got to walk out of the restaurant indignantly muttering about how "If something ain't broke, don't go trying to fix it". They went to The Hong Kong Gardens on Riverside Drive instead.

So my Mommy got the perfect gift! A brand-new, shiny, legitimate thing to complain about!

It's kinda creepy.... Today is MY birthday, too! Both of your mothers have the same birthday? *cue the twilight zone music*

Wait... what? Are you *sure* today is your birthday? you should probably check, just to make sure...

Actually, I kinda-sorta remember that particular bit of trivia from the Days of McDonalds Past...

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Would you like a legitimate gripe of your own?

[lavicka.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure :) And thank you!

I'm a mother and a Girl Scout leader with 15 girls under my wings.. I have enough to gripe about, thanks.

To top it off, this is the 40th of these so-called "great days", so I can also gripe about that age thing.
