Doggy bag

Gotta love moms. Took mommy and daddy out for dinner tonight, to say thanks for looking after me (actually more like wrapping me in cotton wool). We went to a classy restaurant, one of the best in the city. Nice ambience, very friendly waiter. The food was great, wonderfully presented, nice size serving (none of the gourmet one bite of food per plate rubbish) and very tasty. When it came to dessert, mom was pretty full so she ordered dessert le petit, which was two pieces of fudge and two lemon shortbread. Mom struggled to get through the first piece of fudge, so she decided to take it home for her nextdoor neighbour (they go walking and go for coffee every day). She started wrapping the piece of fudge in her used napkin. Sometimes mums do things that just make you cringe, and want to disown them. I mean hello, classy expensive establishment, is there any need to take food home wrapped in a used napkin??!! Obviously disowning mum there and then was out of the question, so I joked that the waiter was coming. She quickly covered her arms over the napkin and looked both ways! haha Mums are so gullible!

So finally mum has neatly wrapped up the three things in her napkin so that they aren't touching each other (so cute), when the waiter comes back. So she's hiding her napkin package in her lap as the waiter delivered our coffees. Finally its put into the handbag, and I'm relieved that my mother hasn't been caught out and embarassed us all. Gotta love moms.
