A Date Night With Madi

So this post has no picture, but I had to post this funny story about Madison. We went to Boise last Wednesday to get some things from the art store for Brian's art classes, and since we were already there we decided to go out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

When we finished our food, Madison flagged down the waitress and politely asked to see a dessert menu, because, "Jesus said cheesecake is for everyone," as she put it. Brian and I tried not to laugh at this outburst of blasphemy as the waitress went to find us a menu.

Madison was looking through the menu and asking Brian to tell her what it said. Brian was making up things like Squirrel Worm Cheesecake Surprise, and Madi quickly got irritated with him and asked the waitress to bring us some pictures because, "my Daddy can't read good."

The waitress then took her to look at the cheesecakes they have displayed in the front so she could pick a piece...meanwhile the birthday party that had been going on next to us (and that Madison had apparently been paying close attention to) was wrapping up.

When the waitress brought us our cheesecake, Madi asked for a candle..and before I knew what was happening, twelve Cheesecake Factory employees were singing Happy Birthday to Madison and she was telling them she had just turned five that day.

Sneaky little thing, isn't she? Brian and I are still laughing about this date we had. I can't wait to tell the story to her prom date!
