How Brendan Made me Smile Today

After having a busy day at the pool followed by buying me a new laptop (YEAH!), we decided to spend an evening out to eat at Red Robin, one of our personal favorites. One of the big draws for the boys here is that they offer All-you-can-eat fries! So, we enjoy our dinner and are ready to eat when Brendan is still eating fries from the last refill our waitress brought out. We tell him to grab a handful and head out.

On our way out, the boys all get distracted by the balloons in the foyer, so each guy grabs a balloon string and we head to the door. At this moment Brendan realizes it is difficult to balance a handful of hot fries with a balloon string, and he loses a fry to the floor- right in front of one of the employees.

Show his dexterity, he swiftly leans over and swoops the fry off the floor and puts it back in his pile.

Embarrassed, I tell B, "You can't eat that! It's dirty."

What does he do? Eat it? Nope! Throw it in the garbage? Nope! He simply plops it right back on the ground.

We laughed so hard!

As an extra bit of Brendan news, Brendan scored his first official birdie last evening playing golf with Chris and the boys. I had stopped back to check on them, so I was able to see it, too. He drove the ball onto the green and landed it within two feet. A quick putt later, Brendan scored his first birdie!
