MOVES FOR A GREAT FIRST DATE

Someone who shall remain nameless, in case she ever wants to try this again, had a special first date last night. She concocted a fun scheme based on an old cartoon we all used to enjoy. In the cartoon, a character talks about dating, and says, “When they go to a restaurant, he orders (in a deep, manly voice) a BIG PIECE OF BEEF . . . she she gets (in falsetto) . . . a sallllllllllad!”

So this nameless teenage girl and her date were going to a restaurant last night, and this was her plan: he would expect her to order something light, feminine and delicate. She planned to smile demurely as the waiter approached the table, and then when it was her turn to give her order, she was going to drop her voice two octaves, and rasp:

“I’LL HAVE TWO TRIPLE CHEESEBURGERS, AN ORDER OF FRIES WITH MELTED CHEESE, AND A BEER!”

Wish I could’ve been a little bird to see the look on her 17-year-old date’s face.

Prayer request: Father, bless this new relationship with Your tender protection and encouragement, and use this beautiful, one-of-a-kind young lady to draw this nice young man closer to You through her bubbling humor and grace. (1 John 4:7,8)
