MD and TL go inside and order while RM saves a table outside, though there is hardly a rush of people to claim them, as its 10 o' clock. Yes, a.m.
The guy behind the counter (codename: Eric) is very personable. TL orders a frozen lemonade, which, apparently, is a lemonade slushy.
Eric: Do you want whipped cream on that?
TL: Yep.
MD: Whipped cream????
TL:Yeah, it's good!
Eric: She knows what she's talking about.
MD: I don't think it sounds gross, I'm just jealous!
Eric asks MD iff she wants whipped cream.
MD: But I'm just getting a regular coffee.
Eric: I know.
MD: Sure!
Eric makes another frozen lemonade and hands it to MD. "Now you don't have to be jealous."
MD: Thanks!
So now we're all outside, feeding the birds (or at least, TL is. Just call her the bird lady.). A kid rides up on his bycycle, parks it and chains it to a lamppost. I can tell that he works at Panera. He goes inside.
MD: Nice apron!
RM: goes inside to go to the powder room and grab a sample out of the sample case to feed to the birds. They were using the almonds from my pastry, but those are gone. Their favorite bird is a little one-legged black-capped chickadee (codename: That Little Parapolegic Bird)
MD: Do they like frosting?
TL:: I think that its probably not good for them. I'm feeding them cinnamon bread. Do you want a bite
RM: No! she doesn't need that! Think of the bird.
MD: Oh, nice.
MD: I'm engaged!
RM: Ok, one week and I want that to stop.
MD: And then in about 5 months I'll just say it out of the blue.
A big truck rolls by and makes a very unladylike noise.
RM:That thing farted!
More funny noises are heard, but this time from our table.
MD: What happened?
RM: TL blubbered lemonade all over my arm.
TL: It's not called blubbering, it's called bubbling! Blubbering is crying.
RM: She burbled it.
TL: So we found out who Doomtree is. (Referring to the paper- entertainment section) One of the guys names is Turbo Nemesis.
RM: Do you think that's his real name?
TL: No.
RM: You know, we keep hanging out here, and I keep expecting to see Jesus, but he hasn't come back.
MD: Like as in: the second coming?
TL: The second coming to Panera.
RM giggles.
TL wonders why people randomly wear dresses instead of pants and shirts.
RM: Didn't you see dad's post about men in skirts?
TL: What about it?
RM: Well, I guess it didn't really explain why, just that they do.
TL: But not in this country.
RM: Well, maybe in New York. Or Paduka, Idaho.
MD laughs.
RM: Is Paduka in Idaho?
MD: I think its in Kentucky.
RM: Ok, I drank too much of that lemonade thing, and now I've got a sugar high. There's a cute car!
RM: So what's going to happen after you get married, are you going to snub us?
MD, laughing: Yup.
TL: NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo.....
RM: What's wrong with you?
TL: Can I borrow some of that?
RM: My lipstick?
TL: Yep.
RM: MD, TL want's to borrow some of your lipstick.
MD: Get your own.
RM: So one day are we going to go to McDonald's to get cappuccinos?
MD: Nope.
TL: So, if MD snubs us after she gets married, it'll just be me and you. Like it was when she was in beauty school.
RM: Oh, yeah. Did we miss her?
MD: yep.
TL:Only in her mind.
RM: Yeah, in her little fevered imagination.
TL: We could kidnap her.
RM: What should we do today? Go test drive motorcycles?
TL: We should go shopping.
.....
RM: we need to get into our car before we get ticketed.
