This post goes out to my new BFFL Ramiero.
Who's Ramiero?
My Burger King Lover.
Unfortunately, VERY unfortunately for both my budget and my calorie count (which I don't count..but whatevs), there is a Burger King on my way to work for the summer. You may be thinking that Burger King is gross, and you would be correct if you are thinking about Whoppers and Whopper Jrs with Cheese. Those are gross. However, their Cini-Minis are about the best thing I ever put in my mouth and they have Coke products, helping me to spur on my ever increasing addiction to Diet Coke. Also, none of this requires me to actually cook in the morning, or even make sure that I have groceries in my refrigerator.
So. Every morning for like 4 weeks now I have been stopping at BK to help out my bleak breakfast situation. Enter Ramiero.
For the first 3.5 weeks, Ramiero never really said anything, he just handed me my Cini-Minis and Diet Coke and we were on our way. He back to his fryer...me on to my darling children awaiting me in the nine zillion degree weather.
It all changed a week and a half ago when I brought my own diet coke from home. Woah did that one throw him for a loop. "No Diet Coke for you Baby?" he asked me.
The next day, not wanting to stress Ramiero out any more than necessary and having an intense love for diet coke in a cup with ice, I got my usual. At this point Ramiero starts being extra nice to me and calling me sweetheart. Cha-Ching.
The next day I pull up to the drive through and Ramiero comes on the speaker and says, "Cini-Minis and a Medium Diet Coke?" Oh yes.
The next day:
Ramiero: "Welcome to Burger King. Would you like to try Cini-Minis and a Medium Diet Coke?"
Ohhh snap...Ramiero pulled a funny!
The next day:
Rameiro: "Oh no baby!! We are out of Cini-Minis!!!"
Me: "It's fine! No stress." (Secretly I was a little stressed...I'm developing a healthy addiction, but I wasn't going to make Ramiero feel worse than he already did)
Rameiro: "Sweetheart I was so stressed this morning, they only gave me TWO Cini-Minis for the morning and some lady came and ordered both of them and I though OH NO! So here's your Diet Coke, it's on me."
Today:
Ramiero: "Baby, I am making you some fresh Cini-Minis and it is all on me today."
Oooohh Yeah. This kid now has Burger King Connections.
I add Ramiero to the gas station attendant at Thorntons and the owner of Roly Poly, who recognized me even after I had been away at college for three years. I guess you just don't forget a mug like mine...or I'm just such an extreme creature of habit that I just pound my face into people's mind by shear force.
Peace, Love and New Friends,
Claire
Some Things to Consider:
1. Yesterday a kid in my group at camp farted. Me and my entire pack literally laughed for 20 minutes about this. It was then that I realized that my true calling really is teaching middle school. I'm sorry, I don't care who you are...farting in stinking hilarious...every time. Especially when it is coming out of the cutest little Asian child you have ever seen.
2. I'm going to start going back to school this week...I am BEYOND excited!!
