McDonalds

About a year ago my mother, my 2 younger sisters and I went shopping to San Antonio TX. And let me tell you that shopping with my family (well, with the female side of the family) is a hard 24-hour-long job. It shopping starts the second the stores opens and goes non-stop until they close when it moves to the closest 24hr Walmart. Oh yes, they are tough days. Anyways, on that particular time I was with my mom and sisters our midnight meal was provided by McDonalds drive-thru. It went something like this:

MCDONALDS DUDE
Good Night, Welcome to McDonads. What can I get for you?

ME
I'll have 2 big mac meals, one with fanta, the other with coke

MOTHER
DIET coke

ME
Al right, diet coke. Also the 8 piece McNuggets, with a small Sprite

MCDONALDS DUDE
Would that be all?

ME
(I haven't ordered anything for me)
No, I will also have a mmm... let me think... oh yes, I'll have a Big n'Nasty with coke

MCDONALDS DUDE silence...

ME
(realizing what I've just said)
Sorry, sorry, I mean Big n'TASTY, TAS-TY

MCDONALDS DUDE
I'm sorry, did you just say big n' NASTY?
...

ME
(akward silence)
...

MCDONALDS DUDE
Could you hold on a sec....

The McDonalds dude was off the speaker for a good 5 minutes which I'm sure was how long it took him to pass on the word to everyone in the kitchen and to his speed-dial contacts. My english-speaking sisters obviously understood and burst into laughing while my ever-so-hungry mother looked rather confused.

Needless to say it was very VERY embarassing to go and pick up the food. But my mom wouldn't let me just get the hell out of there without at least her hamburger.

After that I guess I'll stick to the Big Mac ... at least I can pronounce it.
