The morning before our plane left for Disney was a fairly typical process of packing for Wingnut and I. He took a handful of clothes from his drawer, put it in his suitcase, and declared his packing done. I had procrastinated in the days before that, so I wandered back and forth from the bedroom to the closet to the living room, alternating between crossing items off of my list and adding items to a shopping list that I had just discovered I needed.
Hey, we all have our methods.
Around mid-day, we (ok, fine, I) said goodbye to Planty, and headed out the door. As with our last trip, we were going to be spending the night at Wingnuts parents house, and they would take us to the airport in the morning, since it is a close drive from them.
On the way there, we stopped for our first food of the trip: Chilis!
Wingnut: You are not taking food pictures yet. The trip hasnt started yet. We havent even left our state.
Me: Oh yes, the trip has most certainly started. Weve left home
let the pictures begin!
Im pretty sure its against the rules of civilization to not order the Avocado Eggrolls while at Chilis. Yes, I know the queso is really good too, but oh how I love the eggrolls.
For our entrees, we ordered a new special, the Chipotle Chicken Fajitas.
These were really good, chipotle-y and cheesy. Not too spicy, which is good since I am a spicy food wimp.
After our lunch, we headed to Wingnuts parents house. The storm clouds from the hurricane were already starting to roll in.
We got to their house a bit early, and they werent home yet. Wingnut wandered into their kitchen, and suddenly exclaimed: YES! They have bananas!
(No, Wingnut doesnt particularly like bananas or have bizarrely low levels of potassium, Im going somewhere with this.)
We had seen online how someone figured out that if you lightly write words with a toothpick on a banana, they will magically appear and you can write little loving notes or totally freak people out. We had been waiting for his parents to have bananas in the house since we saw this (they always have a basket of fruit in the kitchen), so we could give it a try.
I raced into the kitchen, and found Wingnut excitedly trying to find a toothpick.
Wingnut: What should I write?
Me: I dont know. Hello?
Wingnut: Thats boring.
I think he was going for a slightly spooky Halloween thing, but all I hear is Rozs voice:
Im watching, Wazowski, always watching
The bananas were a bit ripe, so the words appeared almost instantly. We did a little
maniacal laughing, rearranged the bananas in the fruit basket, and wondered what the reaction would be.
A few hours passed, and then Wingnuts dad approached the fruit. His reaction was a bit underwhelming, more of an oh, okay. We all laughed about it, mainly about how long Wingnut and I had been waiting to try out this trick.
Dinner (pork) and a movie (Les Diaboliques) later, we went to bed, excited and ready to head to Disney the next day!!
