Today at work I was having a slightly amusing time. There was a party the night before that everyone at work was invited to, but I didn't feel like going because I don't really drink, and I don't feel like I fit in with a lot of the servers 100% yet, so I decided I'll wait until next month when I'm 21 to attend one of these "amazing" parties where everyone has tons of fun. Well, because of this amazing party, everyone was just a wee bit hungover and a couple of people were late. It was amusing, I must say. This also made me seem like a much happier person than normal, just because the other servers didn't feel like moving.
I had a few tables before we started getting our big after church service rush, and even then it wasn't all that bad of a rush.. But, I had this family seated in my section, a daughter probably around 10, and a son somewhere between 6-8. The boy was fidgeting with something on the table, and I was looking to see what it could possibly be when I noticed it looked like a pack of gum with one piece slid out as if you were offering it to someone, then I read the label. I actually found a pack of it online just click HERE. It looks like a normal pack of Wrigley's gum, but I knew something had to be up, and sure enough it says "Shock" on the package. I laughed and told him I knew his trick, and he said I must have a little brother. Needless to say, he was very surprised when I told him just how many brothers and sisters I do have. Anyway..So the time goes by, and I go to their table to take their order and the daughter orders a grilled cheese sandwich, and her brother looks at me and says "I want a boy cheese"and I couldn't help but laugh. Well they eat their food and I come back with the check, and I decide to see if this thing could really shock that hard, besides he'd been begging me to pull the piece of gum the whole time he was there, so I do and HOLY COW! That thing...Wow! I don't even know what to say! My whole arm tickled for a good 10 mins, and the whole table had a good laugh. All in all, I'd say it was worth it because I got a $7 tip on a $21 bill.
Until next time,

Holy crap. Really I can't think of anything else to say besides that...oh yes I can.
It's a good thing that you could see it for the joke it was. I'm sure the kid would have felt terrible if he knew how much it hurt you. And hey, MONEY!
If you dare get one of those for your littlest brother I am going to make you demonstrate it on yourself!!!
Sounds like a nice day at work!
Love ya!

I only have one thing to say about this KaTrina; You are a really good SPORT!
If I knew that I would get a bad shock from that thing I would have stayed far away from that kid. Being shocked is one of the worst feelings in the world in my opinion, and I do whatever I can to avoid it happening to me. Plus I'm sure they were nice people and all, but I can't believe that they would allow their son to do that to someone. Maybe that's just me being cranky
That was so nice of you to go along with his 'trick'. And you are brave! I would have been so nervous to intentially shock myself! Obviously his parents were thankful for your kindness (or just sorry that you had to go through that), because that's a generous tip!
What's this??? 6 days and no new post!!!! I object!
